Project Atrium: Anila Quayyum Agha

PAKISTANI-AMERICAN ARTIST Anila Quayyum Agha uses light and cast shadow to transform the Atrium Gallery into a place that alludes to Islamic sacred spaces dense with geometric ornamentation and pattern. 

Inspired by traditional Islamic architectural motifs, Agha's laser-cut steal lantern conjures the designs of historic sites and mosques and creates a space of peace and tranquility.
