Untitled Drawing

My practice employs elements of religious and sacred geometry to work on the numerous aspects of belief systems. I am intrigued equally by the similarities amongst different beliefs, as well as with each one’s occupation with finding divine perfection. However, the existence of this perfection remains in question. Traditionally, religious geometric symbols refer to a religious narrative or belief. At times, the geometric proportions also refer to the existence of geometry in nature: from a microscopic view to a more capacious level. The manmade iconography has been created by us, in turn, to reflect this perfection, and to support our belief in a master creator of all. I extract geometric symbols from various religious icons e.g. star of David or Kabbalah from the Jewish belief, various Islamic art patterns, flower of life from Hinduism, the Christ grid from Christianity and so on. In decoding them, I find similarities in their design and meaning, and I use these as a basis to create new, fused forms. I also focus on the imperfections, inherent in nature, which are overlooked in traditional iconography. I work primarily with various kinds of paper, geometric sets and cutting tools, and create multiple drawings, layering them across each other to form negative and positive spaces. I also introduce nontraditional, neon colors to explore the contemporisation of traditional iconography and symbolism. My approach towards these works is predominantly minimal; the starkness a mere projection of the simplicity on the surface, but allowing for the multiple layers to hold a multitude of meanings and depth.
