Documentary, Short Films
Discover the ancient art of Tezhip with Nagihan Seymour. This documentary explores Islamic illumination and the golden ratio in traditional art.
Tezhip Artist Nagihan Seymour is striving for perfection.
As she masterfully reshapes gold to craft her work, the graceful symmetry she is so intent on pursuing leaps from the page.
Preparing for her upcoming exhibition, aptly named The Golden Ratio, Nagihan reflects on what it means to be an artist: How do you transcend luck and do what you love every day? What is the definition of success for a creative, and how do others quantify it for you?
There is harmony in nature, as there is in art, and Nagihan is on a mission to capture it and hang it from the wall.
