The East—West مشرق—مغرب blanket weaves the two words into a unified whole, symbolizing a continuum rather than a binary. Designed for the Islamic Arts Biennale 2025, it draws inspiration from the exhibition theme: “And All That Is In Between."
The blanket echoes a recurring Qur’anic verse that emphasizes divine sovereignty over all directions:
رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا
Transliteration: Rabb al-mashriqi wal-maghribi wa mā baynahumā
Translation: “The Lord of the East and the West and all that is in between them.”
— Surah Ash-Shu‘ara (26:28)
