EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of rugs or carpets made of silk and cotton, highlighting the traditional art of embroidery. The Suzanni (Suzani) Centre in Khiva, Uzbekistan serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship found along the Silk Road. The image transports us to Itchan Kala, the old town within Khiva's fortified walls, where this UNESCO World Heritage Site stands as a symbol of Uzbekistan's artistic legacy. Each rug or carpet on display is a masterpiece meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans who have mastered this age-old tradition. The intricate details and vibrant colors woven into these textiles reflect not only their decorative purpose but also their deep cultural significance. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the Islamic influence that permeates throughout Central Asia. In this serene setting devoid of human presence, we can appreciate the tranquility that emanates from these rugs and carpets. They serve as silent witnesses to centuries of tradition and bear witness to an enduring connection between past and present. This photograph by Mauricio Abreu captures not just a moment frozen in time but also invites us to explore our own appreciation for handmade crafts and traditions that continue to shape our world today.
