River Zig — Beni Ourain Serpentine Lines (130 × 198 cm, 2025)
A contemporary Beni Ourain in undyed ivory wool, drawn with rhythmic charcoal-green zig lines that run the field lengthwise.
The composition reads airy and modern while retaining High Atlas tactility—soft, cushioned pile with a clean bound edge profile.
Glyph Reading
The repeating serpentine/zig is an Amazigh water path—movement, protection, and good passage.
As the line oscillates, it “charges” the field with gentle momentum while keeping the ground open for calm.
Energetically, this rug invites flow and clarity along a clear longitudinal axis.
