Two Halves, One Whole

Two felt sheets are cut as one, then swapped — the positive of each becomes the negative of the other.

No gradients, no shading, no third colour. Bold contrast is the entire visual vocabulary of the shyrdak.

Ram-horn spirals for abundance, four-petal flowers for the seasons, butterflies for the free spirit.

Sewn for weddings, walked on for decades, passed to the next generation as a living heirloom.
