Lines of Life explores the relationship between repetition, geometry, and spiritual reflection. Comprising five paintings conceived as a series, the work draws inspiration from zellij and alicatado tessellations as well as the structural clarity of hard-edge Kufic design. Through this interplay of line and pattern, Somani transforms devotional geometry into a language of contemporary abstraction.
