Afghan War Rug (1980)

The Afghan war rug is a textile genre born from the Soviet invasion of 1979, where Turkmen and Baluch weavers knotted Kalashnikovs, helicopters, and tanks into traditional carpet vocabulary using natural madder-red, indigo, and walnut dyes. Each rug is a witness document — pixel-art testimony in wool.

This design system translates that knotted-wool materiality into digital form: deep madder grounds, cream content panels framed by ornamental borders, and rectilinear geometry that echoes the knot-grid precision of hand-woven carpets.

阿富汗战争地毯是1979年苏联入侵后诞生的纺织类型——土库曼与俾路支织工将卡拉什尼科夫步枪、直升机和坦克的图像编织进传统地毯词汇中，使用天然茜草红、靛蓝和核桃棕染料。每一块地毯都是战争见证，是羊毛结中的像素证词。

本设计系统将手工编织地毯的物质感转化为数字形式：深沉的茜草红底色、奶油色内容面板配以装饰性边框，以及呼应手工地毯结网精度的直线几何构图。
