Abstract
This artwork was created as part of the AIU Divine Creation competition 2025 by Fajer Altamimi, who is majoring in Interior Design. The artwork is entitled "Mamluki Lancet Mosque".
Description
Through carefully designed artwork, the interior design of a mosque provides an amazing divine creation. The sacred interior space operates as a visual symbol that represents the universal divine structure and sacred balance.
Artwork design creates an environment that invites viewers toward an atmosphere of tranquility during contemplation. The mosque's central religious element consists of the Mihrab niche, which points towards prayer activities and demonstrates how worship connects individuals to divine beings. Muslim belief in universal interconnectedness appears through geometric designs and written verses that decorate mosque walls and ceilings, thus representing the intricate beauty of creation.
The builders intentionally selected certain color choices as shown in the image, to perfect the spiritual ambiance. Warm and rich tones of gold and earthy hues make visitors feel tranquil before the structure, while blue and green colors emphasize natural growth and the universal size of the natural world. The mosque creates a dichotomy of light effects which highlight the relationship between physical reality alongside the metaphysical world, and earthly substances with divine realms.
All elements in the piece rely heavily on symbolic meaning. The artwork shows repeated geometric shapes, which serve dual purposes because they both decorate the piece and convey profound mathematical and philosophical values related to natural order and balance. Through calligraphic verses from the Quran, the work demonstrates how divine creation relies upon the power of holy words.
According to technical principles, the piece borrows from traditional Islamic art and architecture by using abstract designs instead of human figures to present the spiritual essentials. The method conforms to the divine creation beliefs presented in philosophical studies that describe creation as an eternal, transcendent phenomenon.
My work entices assessment of divine creation through its careful contemplation of its complex procedures. Viewers who experience the peaceful mosque environment will gain knowledge about the existence's unified nature.
