I Created A Mirrored Ziggurat To Connect The Earth And Sky In Sydney
15Kviews
In this installation I have been inspired by the pyramidal structure of Ziggurat, a common form of temple in ancient Mesopotamia, attempting to connect earth and sky, so humans could be nearer to god.
The Mirrored Ziggurat acts as a staircase, which seeks to connect nature with human beings and to create a union of ancient history and today’s world. This installation offers a transformative view of the self.
The Mirrored Ziggurat has seven levels that represent seven heavens. For me, mirrors amplify this paradise, giving light; an important mystical concept in Persian Culture, and a medium creating an optical illusion.
