− | * '''Muhammed Türk''': The Carpet ‘Destruction’ by designer Muhammad Türk took first place in the competition. He describes his design as a protest against the destruction of historical monuments by badly done restorations. He juxtaposed a central series of traditional Islamic geometrics done in a blood-hued red on a black background against a wash of blues and earth colors to represent the sweeping away of tangible evidences of the past.<ref>http://rugnews.com/ME2/dirmod.asp? | + | * '''Muhammed Türk'''<br> |

| + | * '''THEME: DESTRUCTION'''<br> |
| + | Every day, historical monuments and natural beauties are destroyed because of badly done restoration, the fact that human needs are increasing and insufficient education. In this work, my objective is to draw attention to this destruction and state that history is so strong and visible that is is impossible to destroy it. History will always be found underground.<ref>hali_yarismasi_katalog_2016.pdf</ref> |

| + | * '''THEME: CYCLE'''<br> |
| + | Every artefact that shows vitality, after beingtreated by the human hand, tries to return to its previous existence… to nature. In time, it loses colour and changes shape. The project based on this idea, using totally natural jute and naturally dyed indigo, presents a human friendly 100% sustainable design with cheap raw material adding to its design value. It brings a modern alternative and different material to traditional methods.<ref>hali_yarismasi_katalog_2016.pdf</ref> |

| + | * '''THEME: THE MELTING ICE CAPS'''<br> |
| + | The melting of the polar ice caps due to global warming is a sign that our earth is heading towards annihilation. These noticeable changes in the poles seem like a harmonious dance of melted blue sapphire lakes. Basing himself on these melting effects, he wanted his design to be pleasing to the eye and at the same time, convey a message. The design is horizontal and was installed on the loom that way with the fringes remaining on the sides. On one hand, he wanted to do something different and on the other hand he thought the transitions of the design would be clearer this way. The small bright colours used here and there are fragments of life remaining in nature, representing the end mankind brings onto itself. He has associated the subject of his design with this reality that is a problem common for all mankind. “If you tell the truth, you can reach deep into hearts”. |
