A commissioned project designed by Abdulaziz Al Harbi for Islamopolitan ( collective design exhibition at Maraya Art Centre , UAE ). The artwork now is part of maraya art collection, and it is on an international tour around the globe .
"This work resembles the journey of an artist, from the point of interaction with an exciting subject, an important issue or a worldly opinion, to the actual attempt at manufacturing that feeling.
When the artist first saw that performance and process of prayers in Mecca, where millions of Muslims walk in perfect harmony around the holy Ka'aba he was deeply touched; he realized universal truths in seconds, that it was only natural for him to embody that feeling in an artwork. He continues to be in awe every time he visits the holy mosque, and witnesses first hand the equality of all races, all dressed in white, all seeking mercy and the eternal truth.
The work's significance is in its true capture of the essence of spirituality in simple geometric forms. It gives a clear glimpse of that world to those who did not witness it, and raises important questions on spirituality and the meaning of life.
The installation consist of 7 neon circles that symbolizes unity, all together with a green light that shines through the smallest to the biggest circle signaling the purpose of this cohesion; worshipping one God."
