Rooted in the Islamic tradition where Tezhib or illumination art, is an act of honouring the sacred word, these artworks reflect ishq through their reverence for the Quran and the beauty that surrounds it. In this tradition, ornament becomes devotion, and design becomes a quiet form of remembrance.

This work features elegant vegetal patterns in blue-green, inspired by the 18th-century artist Ali Celebi and the classical tradition of Islamic illumination. Stylized flowers rendered in gold, inspired by Ottoman tezhip, evoke the beauty of a garden and bring a natural, organic element to the composition.
