The Resistance Motif
Motif: Ram’s Horn (Qìloçê: Koç Boynuzu)
“The most damaging phrase in the language is ‘We’ve always done it this way.’”
― Admiral Grace Murray Hopper
The Resistance Motif
The resistance Motif is for fighters. However, not necessarily the physical ones. For instance, the ones that fight mentally, emotionally, psychologically, economically, and many other forms of fighting. Resist what stops you from acting.
You can fight against a challenge, a taboo, dogma, climate change, cancer, a tradition, and anything you want to change. You might be a physical fighter, an emotional fighter, or a silent fighter or none of the above, or maybe even all of the above, or someone who does not fight.
No matter the reason, if you feel like this motif represents you, you can join the woman who wove her fight into her rug. So, you can incorporate your emotion into your watch and carry it all your life to tell a story of your own, without using a single word. In other words, you can weave your emotions into your watch.
The Motifs and Kurdish Women
In rural Kurdish communities, women’s voices have traditionally been silenced in the public sphere. However, these women developed their artistic language, which allows them to communicate the depths of their emotions. They weave rugs with symbols whose unique meanings, orderly arrangement, and color combination tell a specific story that others can recognize.
