Design Challenge: The most challenging part was to choose an appropriate depth to create the exact shadow and pattern on hand which I wanted. also it was hard to make the piece light weight, balanced and comfortable at the same time. my background in industrial design helped me a lot to create an ergonomic piece which is comfortable to wear.
Research: I first started from researching, reading and understanding the Philosophy, meanings and history behind this architectural element by using internet, books, videos. This project connected me more to my memories, roots and my homeland. I wanted to express my sweetest childhood memories which was dancing and playing through the beautiful lights which this architectural elements made in Persian houses.I wanted to create a piece of jewelry from a sweet childhood memory which is common among Persians.

Moshabak had a huge role in Persian ancient architecture used as a decorative element.

Moshabak is the Persian word for reticular, which was a typical architectural element in walls and windows of old Perisan house.This geometric lattice element was a decorative artform with a complex geometric patterns.The reflection of light through this architectural element created a mesmerizing atmosphere in houses.I remember my grandfather’s house, while sunshine bathed the Persian carpets and I was dancing through that magic light show.
