Geometry turned into prayer. This breathtaking muqarnas vault blooms upward like a crystalline sky, thousands of interlocking facets catching light in gold, turquoise, and deep lapis. Every star, every curve, every repeating pattern feels alive, expanding and dissolving at the same time. It isn’t just decoration; it’s theology in form, a visual reminder of infinity shaped by human hands. Fun Fact: Muqarnas, often called “honeycomb vaulting,” emerged in the 10th century and became a defining feature of Persian, Ottoman, and Central Asian architecture. Its purpose is both structural and symbolic, representing the transition from the earthly world to the divine. When math becomes beauty, the sacred reveals itself in perfect symmetry.

_ "Muqarnas" — *hideous* bat-cave like concretions which warped Muslim minds find reflective or reminiscent of "the Divine". 😂 Guano-rific !

Seeing yourself in the immortal beauty of the human form? No that's idol worship, you can contemplate this weird featureless void instead until your soul is a perfect blank slate for someone else to scrawl on.

it is amazing, but for me this is clumsy, over the top, could be more eloquent and sublime
