Inspired by Doris Duke’s legendary Hawaiian estate Shangri La, Star of Shangri La is a visual tribute to the artist’s global journey through Islamic art, architecture, and design. At the heart of the composition is a bold waypoint symbol — a directional star rendered in crisp appliqué — rising like a celestial guide from a field of intricate geometric patterns. The richly layered woodblock prints recall the mosaics and latticework found throughout Islamic architecture, carefully composed in alternating columns of red and black to evoke rhythm, balance, and depth. The central star serves as both spiritual compass and symbolic axis — a visual anchor in a world of ornate detail. This piece reflects not only the physical beauty found in the Islamic world but also the spirit of cultural preservation, reverence, and exploration that defined Duke’s travels. It stands as a contemporary echo of her vision: a map made of pattern, a direction marked in devotion.
