The concept of the Orb came from the idea of the source of light.
The entire orb in 24K Gold is brilliant and glows when seen from different angles.
The tezhip of the floral pattern, emerging from a centre flower and radiating symmetrically outwards, represents the
manifestation of light in the natural world, where the radiance of creation reflects the divine.
The use of inverse flowers is a variation in Ottoman tezhip and highlights and showcases the different floral patterns in the symbolic use of flowers.
