Drawing on six-fold geometric patterns from the Ayyubid minbar at the Mausoleum of Imam
al-Shafi‘i in Cairo, This painting explores how sacred geometry can carry memory across time
and elevate it toward the transcendent. The softened, weathered surface suggests not only
erosion and survival, but a passage beyond the tangible, where history is felt rather than
fixed. By letting parts of the pattern fade while others endure, the work reflects on continuity
within loss, hinting at the persistence of spiritual knowledge that exceeds the limits of
material form. Geometry here becomes more than structure—it is a vessel of transcendence,
inviting viewers into contemplation, reverence, and the quiet experience of the infinite.
