Naturally, this architecture is influenced by both Islamic and traditional folkloric arts. this heritage has inspired me a sensitivity in dealing with the aesthetic geometic and plant elements crafted by muslem artists on mosques walls and old Holy Quran Copies. The hand engraving technique has enabled me to enrich my collection with oriental warmthand features that distinguish it from other works. I have Chosen the White color for this collection to profound the feeling of spirituality, beauty, peacefulness, and clarity which characterize the Islamic architecture. Being Inspired by the idea, in my collection, I think that “Ultimate Journey” Exhibition would be the the most important art event , as it represents the historic memory and the Heaven and humanitarian noble message of these Holy Shrines.
