WELCOME

“Our aspirations to upward are in one way or another the same.”

This is a carpet that is usually found in consumer places. I have appropriated the semantics that arises when the words Welcome are the text on the carpet and placed it in a religious space. While the semantics of theology and modern consumer society clash, they also enter into a symbiotic relationship due to the consistency of human understanding of upward and outward aspirations.

PEACE IN AND OUT

“The carpet of the Peace of Entry and Exit is a traditional Chinese family-based religious object.”

In China, such carpets would be placed in front of important entrances and exits such as the door of a home. In Chinese tradition, it is a blessing and a wish for friends and relatives who are returning or going out, hoping that people will be at peace when they 'go' and 'come'. And when it appears in different cultural locations or in site-specific architecture, it creates a semantic difference that occurs in the gap between cultures.
