This is my interpretation of a welcome mat for the country Jordan. The reason I chose to use the shape and materials I used was because they had a significant connection to the country. The shape in the middle was taken from Jordanian architecture. This also encourages the visitor to walk "through" it and opens up to visitor. The sand in the middle is representation of the landscape. Jordan is 75% desert. Coffee is a very important product in Jordan. It is a symbol of hospitality and it is common to be offered coffee or tea, or to be invited to have coffee with someone in his or her home. The coffee beans represent this symbol of hospitality. In my notes I have that I would be using straw but I decided to change that to moss. This is representation of the landscape as well because of the arid climate. I chose these things hoping it would help one to feel more at home and to make one feel like this was home.
