Dua

Dua
This rug, woven by sisters Naheem and Najreen, is a deeply personal expression of faith and resilience. At the heart of the design are intricately woven masjids (mosques) — symbols of peace, grounding, and divine connection. These architectural motifs are not just decorative; they represent the weavers' belief that being close to God gives strength to navigate the twists and turns of life. Surrounding the mosques are intricate patterns and textures — visual metaphors for life’s many labyrinths. From zig-zag lines to floral forms and tiny squares, every pattern reflects the shifting thoughts of the weavers. These patterns echo the unpredictability of everyday existence. Naheem and Najreen’s rug becomes a meditative landscape: sacred places amidst the chaos. Both weavers named this rug “Dua,” which means a prayer. As this is their first rug, they said that they have woven prayers and dreams with each knot of this rug.
