From the artist: This piece was inspired by Afghani rug weavers who in the 1990s began weaving war motifs in
their carpets because the country had been in war for such a long time. During the time of
making this work rug weavers have begun weaving drones into their rugs.
It is composed of all the dates of drone attacks that took place in Warizstan from the first
drone that was dropped in Pakistan to the most recent during the time it took to complete the
work (approximately one year) Every time the piece will be exhibited I will add the dates of
new attacks in the region
