Tulip

THE OTTOMAN TULIP

The tulip, which symbolizes the elegance and aesthetic sensibility of Ottoman culture, is treated in this work as a reference to the refined world of the past. With its slender form and strong bearing, the tulip represents grace, nobility and beauty.

The meeting of the glass mosaic pieces with the light lends the tulip a vitality that changes from different angles, while also reflecting the understanding of color and pattern in Ottoman art. “The Ottoman Tulip” is an elegant reflection of a cultural heritage reaching from the past to the present.
