The Dahlia (a flower commonly known as the “Star Flower” for its star-shaped appearance) the emblem that represents our journal may seem like just an aesthetic element at first glance, but it carries deep meaning for us.
This motif, frequently used in rug weaving in Anatolia in the past, symbolizes productivity. Women weaving rugs were not merely creating something to cover the floor; they were additionally producing a work of art. Every pattern, every detail conveyed a distinct meaning: some motifs were thought to bestow good fortune, while others were believed to provide protection against wild animals or evil spirits.
