Graduate Exhibition

This series has been inspired by the juxtaposition of organic and geometric shapes within the cityscape of Ahmedabad, India. The unique quality of the native plants softens the harshness of the city’s angular structures and evokes simplicity. The ancient Arabic term Mizan, meaning balance has been applied to illustrate the elaborate geometric designs and masterful repeats of Islamic art. The designs are a contemporary representation of classic floral motifs that have been reinvented to harmoniously balance the symmetrical and geometric characteristics of traditional design.
