Description
Islamic design is a rich art form with spiritual and meditative meaning expressed through
its infinite pattern. The iterative process of creating pattern, unified yet diverse, is an intricate geometric path conveying conceptual exploration. Process of form development in Islamic patterns defines its growing design, seeking explicit relationships between unity and
multiplicity. As the grid expands and patterns unfold, new concepts are introduced for pattern exploration and formation. Reoccurring focal points of the Islamic geometries mark
significant moments in which these patterns take form. By fusing traditional Islamic design
fundamentals with contemporary concepts for interiors, I expand the realm of this rich art
form from a two dimensional form to a three dimensional structure.
