Collage. Merging circuit board patterns with textile motifs in a grid-like background. Two arms are on each side, positioned as if gently pulling on strings that cross the image diagonally. The hands contrast with the rigid lines of the circuit board patterns behind them. The strings are woven through the hands and background, symbolising the connection between traditional weaving and modern technology. © Hanna Barakat & Archival Images of AI + AIxDESIGN
