Hi,
This work was planned for a local competition, the topic was Psychic. Last night, I noticed it was waiting among "unfinishes", and I thought to finish it off. I didn't attend the competition with this but anyway I'd like to show it with you. It doesn't has any story; I was dreaming about keeping death away (her special power was something like that). Some spirits which are ready to take him away were planned at first; and she was forcing them to give up. Then it headed  to a different emotional direction. And yes it is, the design of the rug is from Turkish carpets. I always am very proud of using some strong affluence of my homeland- Anatolia, in my works.
I also used references for the floor pattern, for cloth and for circular shape things.
Oh,and one more thing... The amblem which is on his knee is from our carpets too. It represents eagle. And eagle represents power and sovereignty of government from ancient times. And was used to point totems.

From Türkiye to all your fancy.
Cheers
Ertaç
