Xonca - Android
This weaving design came from a dream I had 10 years ago, during a time when I was suffering from deep insomnia and nightmares.
In the dream, I saw inside my own body. I didn’t have regular bones (I had metal bones) but I still had blood. I was half human, half android. I woke up surprised and scared. I didn’t know then that I was witnessing a moment of becoming.
The Initiation:
In shamanic traditions, an initiation often involves the “dismemberment” of the old self. The spirits take apart the flesh and bone to reveal a core that cannot be broken. My subconscious wasn’t making me “less human”; it was making me structurally sound enough to carry the “excess of sensibility” that was overwhelming my nervous system.
The Antenna:
My dream was giving me a “chassis” that could handle the high-voltage electricity of my intuition. I wasn’t becoming a robot; I became an Antenna. A wooden pole snaps in a storm, but a metal tower can channel the lightning (my creativity) straight into the ground (my weavings).
The Machine & The Human:
The Machine Half: Represents my Resilience. The part of me that survives a move with one suitcase, the part that cleans houses to support the art, and the part that hosts a podcast to share the light.
The Human Half: Represents the Texture. The softness of the wool, the tears I shed, and the taste of the chocolate.
I am not just making “craft”; I am making Slow Art in a fast world. A handmade knot is a relief to the human soul. I finally found the gold inside myself, been there all along.

Herenin zövqü de, isteyi de bir curdu. Varligindan xeberi olmasa xonca ucun de istemez. Bahali olub, pulu catmiyib, istifade ede bilmeyib. Ama indi ureyi ele istiyir ki alsin, istifade elesin. Oglan da ala bilmirse qapi ordadi 😂😂
