Sensuousness Space: Internalizing Islamic Geometrical Ornament found in National Mosque

Abstract

This project seeks to identify the fundamental form of Islamic geometrical patterns found in the National Mosque. The internalization from the subject and visit helps to produce an installation sculpture. The sculpting process uses plywood as the primary material and is formed by using mathematical methods and woodworking as the approach. The work presents in installation as it potentially delivers a sense of sacredness towards the audience. Therefore, this study explores the chronology of artmaking inspired by the hidden form and its foundation in Islamic ornament and reviews how its complexity creates a sense of sacredness towards the atmosphere of human psychology.
