Being an international college student and consistently feeling the urge to go home and stress leading to lack of concentration inspired me to make this art piece. The circular spiral form of the rug gives an illusion of hypnosis and helps in increasing the level of concentration. the warm colors and patterns on the rug placed in the interior spaces will make one feel cozy, warm, and secure. My rug is not necessarily for chic, expensive places rather the hand stitches are supposed to give the feel of being at home. Acupressure by pebbles is proven to be a really good way to de-stress. I tried to mimic that experience by adding different textures using plastic, paper, cotton cording, beads, and rya knots in my rug.
