About the project
Garden of Geometry
Crossroads of ancient civilizations and hubs of communication along the Silk Road showcase a rich weave of history and culture. The sophisticated motifs of Islamic architecture are evident in market buildings, streets, and public squares. In this light-filled landscape, the unique connections between ancient traditions, modern expressions, and traces of a history marked by Soviet influence are clearly visible. The women's colorful dresses, echoing the patterns of their surroundings, create an immediate connection between human beings and the places in which they live.
