My Sun II
The concept behind this blanket is a representation of my own cultural heritage with incorporated Greek, Islamic and French elements; it also is directly related to the concept of heat, as the idea is to create a small blanket or a throw. The design itself is linked to the masculine and feminine qualities of each person or two people united, either through love and/or mixing of cultures.
