“Red Memory Carpet” explores the idea of memory as something embedded, compressed, and partially hidden within domestic space. The work starts from a simple gesture: lifting the carpet to look underneath. What emerges is not dirt or residue, but traces of lived time—imprints, absences, and forgotten forms.

The neutral textile surface contrasts with an irregular red layer beneath, evoking what is traditionally concealed, removed, or symbolically “swept under the rug.” Books, objects, and fragments of everyday life leave subtle impressions, transforming memory into relief rather than narrative.

Rather than offering a fixed meaning, the work remains open. What lies beneath the carpet belongs to the viewer’s own experience, making memory subjective and unstable. The carpet becomes a threshold between presence and concealment, where domestic familiarity meets emotional sediment.

Red Memory Carpet treats memory not as nostalgia, but as material—something that the house hides, yet never truly loses.
