Traditionally, geometric motifs, created through the use of compasses and rulers, represent the underlying order and perfection believed to govern the universe, a reflection of the divine rule of God. drawing any motif starts with the first point from which all the infinite patterns stem. To many, this first point is a representation of God, the source of everything to exist. I chose to double down on this concept, and I had the first unit be that. That unit, which is also the one in the middle, has the most colors of all parts, with a lot of contrasting colors of wood, indicating all that there is. The following units, or the “earthly” ones, rely more on the geometry of the elements rather than color contrasts. 

The mirrors added at the end attempt to create a holy feeling of a portal between the earthly and the divine world. Islamic art was considered by some as a way of worshiping god, and thus this work connects the human to God through the act of creating art.
