Boucherouite Mosaic Field — Atlas Panel

A richly textured boucherouite composed from recycled textiles in a dense checkerboard mosaic. Tonal squares of ivory, inky green, cobalt, teal, violet, russet, and poppy red create a lively optical cadence—vernacular modernism refracted through Amazigh craft.

Weave & Touch

Hand-knotted rag-pile on a cotton foundation. The plush, irregular pile yields a soft, acoustically warm surface with subtle height shifts that catch light and emphasize the grid. Upcycling of fabric off-cuts renders every panel materially unique.
