II · How it was made
Woven on a loom that will not be threaded again.
The weaver's hands have since moved to other work.
III · Where the pattern is kept
Not in a catalog.
Not in his notes.
Not even fully in his memory of making it.
Only here.
IV · Every side of it
Up close, then closer.

V · The city behind it
Weavers from the Atlas still bring their rugs down to the medina. Each pattern is carried in memory, not on paper.
