Secret of Creation

            "What is the motif of your  design?”
 “How can you think up the way of creating such abstract arts?”
When looking up at the ceiling of Islamic building, I want to ask many questions to the people who engaged in its construction four hundred years ago.
At first glance, it reminds me of a mysterious galaxy in the infinite cosmos. But suddenly it also looks like a regular arrangement of cells in the macro world.
Finally the doorkeeper brings me back to the real world.
“It’s five o’clock now! The gate will close soon!"

Taken at the entrance hall to the Chehel Sotun Palace in Isfahan, Iran.
