Video Installation: Islamic patterns interacting with artist’s body functions, medical data and Arabic drone music.

Connecting body rhythms and visual art, pulse of human body becomes melody orchestrated through vibrations in digital space. Project references overlapping motifs of Islamic geometries, simulating natural patterns found in traditional crafts. Considering aniconism in Islam as predecessor of algorithmic design, evolving patterns are digitally manipulated by interacting with artist’s breath and heartbeat which act as minimal gestures to bring artwork to life.
