Najia Mehadji
:- MOROCCO Born in Paris
in 1950 of a Moroccan origin.Works and lives in
Paris I seek to find
connections between origins of geometric forms.
I began focusing on the "dome" since 1994 and
did a lot of research on Arab and universal
architeture. In all cultures the dome is the
symbol of the sky, it is based on the octagon,
inscribed by two shift -staggered squares- the
square being the symbol of earth -the octagon I
frequently use symbolizing the upward transition
between earthy world and the mysterious
sky. Artist's Point
