Nostos

In Homer’s Odyssey, ‘nostos’ (from the ancient Greek νόστος) signifies the return journey of Ulysses, who after travelling to experience many foreign lands, returns to his homeland above all else knowing himself better.

​

<< The Nostos rug series was born from the reminiscences of my travels, and therefore each unique piece is the result of a specific elaboration of those adventures>>.

​

The memories of colours, tactile and compositional surfaces, lead to the identification or rediscovery of the self and to the perception of having belonged for a moment to a place that is now perceived as distant.

The Nostos series belongs to a mental laboratory that embraces faraway places, offering memories of the past life in the present time.
