Preserving Time
As a Muslim convert, I appreciate how Islamic heritage has been captured and preserved in the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization. With that in mind, I set out to make a pattern that feels like an ornament, but not one based upon material value because knowledge and heritage are far more sublime than the material.
