Signed, numbered, and dated by the artist. "In the Metamorphoses series, I am focusing on Islamic art and design. I want to reveal how patterns develop and morph in a book that makes the viewer experience their beauty, elegance, harmony, intricacy, and complexity. 'Metamorphoses 4' represents a square that morphs into a star. The patterns in the book are combined, duplicated, interlaced, and arranged in multiple combinations that are precise, beautiful and symbolic."--Artist statement from the seller's website http://www.vampandtramp.com/finepress/a/Islam-Aly.html.
