The fusion of Muqarnas (stalactite vaulting) and Aineh-Kari (mirror-work) creates an almost otherworldly experience in Persian architecture, embodying celestial aspirations and infinite beauty. Muqarnas builds complex, three-dimensional forms that seem to cascade downwards, while Aineh-Kari infuses these structures with shimmering light, fragmenting reflections into dazzling, kaleidoscopic patterns. Together, they create spaces that are both geometrically profound and visually ethereal, inviting contemplation and wonder
In "Cosmic Harmony," Mohammad Jamshidi brings the celestial grandeur of Muqarnas and the dazzling brilliance of Aineh-Kari to the unexpected canvas of a basketball backboard. Imagine the backboard's structure incorporating elements of Muqarnas, possibly along its frame or as a central design, meticulously adorned with thousands of precisely cut mirror pieces. This piece transforms the backboard into a miniature architectural marvel, a fragmented dome of light that evokes the vastness of the cosmos and the intricate beauty of traditional design. It's a breathtaking convergence of disciplined form and infinite reflection, where the raw power of sport meets the sublime elegance of Persian artistic heritage.
