The 'Infinite loops' rug depicts two graphic elements interconnected, a heavy curve and a light curve forming a circle. The synergy of these two elements continuously move through the pattern forming a repetitive and dynamic motion. Circles are captivating, symbolising infinity and continuity. They represent the endless cycles of life with no beginning or end.
