Cairo To Yazd

Cairo To Yazd 2022

This piece explores the relationship between a classic tenfold pattern common to Mamluk Egypt and the iconic pili gereh pattern from the Jameh Mosque in Yazd, Iran.

While outwardly diverse, both of these patterns spring from the same mathematical grid structure. Special thanks to Alan Adams, who helped elucidate the link between these two patterns.
