Marrakech, Morocco

The Koutoubia mosque and its minaret are here framed by white wrought iron. The swirls form a central octagon which is an example of geometric design, one of the highlights of Islamic art. The white frame they create contrasts with the ocre buildings, which is very reminiscent of windows in Atlas villages. [2017]
