ZODIAC SIGNS
The concept of the zodiac originated in Babylonian astrology, and was later influenced by Hellenistic culture. According to astrology, celestial phenomena relate to human activity on the principle of "as above, so below", so that the signs are held to represent characteristic modes of expression, or primary energy patterns indicating specific qualities of experience, through which planetsmanifest their dimension of experience.

The unique shadow sculptures combine modern sculpture techniques with Arabic calligraphy (verses from the Quran). When projecting a spotlight on the three dimensional sculpted words (Arabic calligraphy), the shadows create a singular figure. Perhaps what is most powerful about the artworks, is the way the sculptures and their respective shadows interrelate, thus creating a visual narrative and illustrating each other in an unparalleled four dimensional way.
