“The Fruition” is inspired by the stone-carved motif at the front façade of the Qubba Mubaraka of Syedi Fakhruddin al-Shaheed QR. The artist, Nafisa Vajijie, personalizes this depiction by adding pink roses to the motif as the memory of phool, the smell and sight of fresh pink roses that adorn the turbat of Duat Mutlaqeen RA and Hudood Kiram QR, a feature that is deeply intertwined in her memories of ziyarat.
The Fruition is titled such because the artist has long been inspired by Islamic architectural motifs such as this of the acanthus leaves and planter; and therefore, to be able to finally create artwork with these themes is a fruition of her admiration and dreams. The title also symbolizes her journey and hard work to create such a rendering as the final fruition.
