Noor - Light Painting

Noor is Light; brightness, gleam, glow, illumination. It is hardly necessary to expand on the symbolism of light across history and cultures, but it is worth mentioning here that in the Islamic tradition, Light is one of the ninety-nine Divine Attributes: “God is the Light of the heavens and the earth.” Sufi teachings further describe how the light of the Divine is present in every human being: There are lights which ascend and lights which descend. The ascending lights are the lights of the heart; the descending lights are those of the Throne. The ego is the veil between the Throne and the heart. When this veil is rent and a door opens in the heart, like springs towards like. Light rises toward light and light comes down upon light, “and it is light upon light.” -- Najmuddin Kubra Noor is designed as a radiating and radiant mandala. The tails of the râ and wâw create a delicate interlace evocative of a “web of light”. Finished with light-catching iridescent pigment, the word floats and shimmering over a dark backdrop of subtle geometry, the latter evoking the invisible yet universal Order behind all things.
