Sacred Meanings

A hexagon opens into a changing pattern of order and uncertainty.

Sacred Meanings begins with the hexagon, a foundational shape in Islamic geometric design. Cut pages develop and dissolve a pattern as the book opens.

Its changing form connects oppositions—faith and doubt, disorientation and orientation, chaos and order—with the reader’s movement through the object.
