Untitled (Abdulmari Imao)

PCN_7480

National Artist Abdulmari Imao’s untitled work is a large scale metal piece that is faithful to the calligraphic style and okir themes of Islamic art.  It has been described as combining three interrelated themes, that of the sari-mosque as identified in the 5-pointed star that sits within the crescent moon, that of the sari-manok or the rooster with a fish caught in its beak, and that of the sari-okir with its curvilinear motif.  This piece can be found near the entrance to the Jorge B. Vargas Museum.
