Faig Ahmed is known mostly for his unique way of transforming traditional Azerbaijani rugs into contemporary sculptural shapes. His method of deconstructing conventional patterns and symbols and reshaping them into original compositions often results in new, dramatic expressions. Oriental rugs are covered in symbols, the patterns of which form stories that are well anchored in a collective consciousness. These patterns include Buddhist and Muslim symbols and have greatly influenced European and Nordic mythology. Inspired by his visit to Sweden in Autumn 2016, he has explored and brought together Nordic and Oriental pattern traditions. The artist explores symbolic traditions and collective rituals and rules through experiments and in-depth studies.He exposes himself performatively and forces his body and psyche to new levels of consciousness where new identities arise. In his works, symbols are thus transformed. They are broken up, moved, conquered, destroyed, and this creates new stories.
