Story

The lonely old woman weaves her songs and lullabies layer by layer and turns them into a beautiful carpet.

Comment

Women in eastern Khorasan are vital keepers of ancient Iranian culture. Many old songs and lullabies are created while weaving carpets. Preserving and sharing this timeless heritage — belonging to all humanity — has always been my passion. Khāseh Borna is one such woman who, through her voice and the carpets she weaves, has kept this tradition alive for many years.
