In this chaotic world, the lost thing which is less found is love, the very love that lifts man to be considered higher than angles in sky, the very love that sits man on divine throne. Yes, before God, the only thing which is valued is to love Him and His creatures. It is love that opens doors to peace and friendship and for achieving the destination of all mankind; that is, humanity, it is love that creates endless energy in men. Yes, it is love and peace which is a necessity in today, as it was in past and will be in future. It is the absence of love that all ugliness, evil doings, wars and endless enmities appear and push their roots down in the soul and spirit of man. This carpet-painting directs men to their inner values and asks them to stay away from hate. The various and artistic figures of this carpet-painting should not be explained by must be interpreted by the viewer; nonetheless, a brief description is as follows: On one side, the ways of achieving peace are shown by using mystic words, poems, Quran verses and figures, and the other side are the figures, but they offer totally different ways for reaching and understanding love and any person with contemplation and insight can perceive it. If I explain more about this work, its hidden value might be reduced and it might be insult to the visitor’s intelligence. The artistic works should be interpreted, studied and criticized from various angles and views.
