"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Disorienting.


Ceiling of Sheikh-Lotfollah’s mosque in Esfahan, Iran.

Capturing the intricately tiled ceilings of centuries old mosques, photographer Mehrdad Rasoulifard gives his followers both a history lesson and aesthetic treat. The ceilings are not only covered in rich patterns, but architecturally structured to appear like complex tessellations or honeycombs. The mosques are built to include spiraling series of domes and indents, causing the viewer to get lost in their disorienting beauty.
