Light reveals both the outer world and the inner landscapes of our souls. In Reflection, I explore light’s dual role as a physical phenomenon and a metaphor for self-awareness.
Set against a royal blue background symbolizing the sea of sins, the artwork features a 3D cut-out of the Arabic letters "م ح ا س ب ة" (Muḥāsabah), meaning "self-reflection," rendered in red, white, and gold to represent layers of human experience. Mirrored reflections of these letters and the Arabic "ع" (ʿAin), symbolizing "eyes," highlight the need for both outward and inward vision.
Reflection invites introspection, asking how light guides self-awareness and inspires growth, offering a path to renewal and clarity.
