Compass Rose

Compass Rose 2023

An eightfold pattern from the fountain floor in Cairo. This design incorporates two distinct eight-pointed stars. The interior of the stars features a motif reminiscent of the compass rose used to indicate the cardinal directions in classical cartography.

This motif, along with its containing star, is also commonly found in traditional quiltmaking designs across Europe and North America.
