This work was created with Greatorex Street Gallery as its focal point where it was first shown, drawing from the building and the surrounding area, as a portrait. The design of the carpet is native to South Asia and the Middle east, the demographic of Whitechapel and Aldgate, which is majority from that cultural background. Using the design to represent the movement of people through ideas. These carpets are very commonly imported into England and various countries. The carpet is cut into the shape of a workman’s vest, as the piece reflects on the working class workforce in Whitechapel/Aldgate. Blending encoded textile motifs from specific regions with encoded patterns recognisable by machine sensors, the work explores the intersection of traditional identity and digital technology. A QR code links to a 7-minute video interview with Abdullah Sarwari, a local who is an immigrant from Afghanistan, working for a company in Whitechapel that has a storage warehouse space next to the gallery in the same building. Sarwari shares his thoughts on his life in this country, the idea of Britishness. An aspect of the piece is also the digital expression of identity, with the video accessible via mobile devices. The thoughts shared touch on issues such as Britains actions abroad, the effects on peoples lives and hopes for the future.
