Following her remarks at the opening of her solo exhibition, titled "We Are Strong Together," carpet artist Elnara Rasulova told Turan News Agency: "I am very pleased to have my solo exhibition open in one of the world's largest metropolises. The venue chosen for this exhibition harmonizes with the spirit of both my works and the carpets in my collection, encouraging art lovers to engage deeply with each piece. I must emphasize that my works are the result of teamwork. When I bring the projects from my mind and heart onto paper as sketches, the dimensions of my works are also defined. I feel it is my duty to express my gratitude to everyone who collaborated with me at this opening of my first solo exhibition in Turkey. I am confident this exhibition opens new horizons in my creative journey. Everyone can be assured that I intend to display my future works in the world's most prestigious galleries, auction houses, and museums."
