Festival of Light
Night in Morocco during the month of Ramadan is a festival of light. Lamps illuminate tables,floors and wall niches with beautiful patterns of shadow and light. I pause to contemplate the intricate design of these lamps. In ancient tradition, decorating and artistic expression was a form of 'Barakah' meaning spiritual wisdom and blessing transmitted from God. Shapes found on Moroccan floor lamps aim to protect, empower and command respect.The shining light symbolically inspires the viewer.
