It is inspired by Asian Islamic architecture. It uses patterns, light and reflection all within a large space.

This looks very fascinating...

I had to read twice to understand that the patterns are created simply by the lamp and the cube in the middle. It looks like painted.

Thank you 😃 It is a genius installation indeed💡What I loved best was that the visitors were also part of the art. Everyone enjoyed having the flowers on their skin and everything they brought with them.

Hi, you always have a lot of great photos in your posts. Can some of them be used for Instagram Steem account (with a link to the post)?

Thank you 😊 Sure thing 🤝 I better keep an eye out! 👩‍💻

Thank you 🤩, you have helped me a lot. Until now, I've been posting informational posts, and that kind of content isn't very suitable for Instagram.

Pleasure is all mine, we’re in this together 🌍 I think that’s a great way to spread the word about Steemit by literally showing what’s trending on our platform 😃

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.

It is an exceptional design tiles. I liked it very much.

@petface, is everything okay in your head after visiting this place? The brain didn't fly away? It seems to me that an abundance of this color can cause insanity. 😊

This is a very good point, I haven’t thought of it this way to be honest. It’s a mind blowing place indeed🏮It felt quite calming actually when I was there, due to the flower patterns I suppose.

I think it should match the mood.
