Colorforms 18 Flame City


This Colorforms experiment more or less follows the rules of the color game: four shapes in different colors with some non-game elements, here represented by the clouds of little squares and the crescent. I am inspired by Persian and Tibetan art and architecture here. The green cedar trees are sacred to the Persians, the four shapes are derived from Tibetan Buddhist shrines, and the orange flame in the center is the sacred fire of the Zoroastrian religion. I studied this religion for many years and I will be showing you some of the drawings I made during my time with the Indian and Iranian Zoroastrian people of the USA and Canada.
