‏The design idea
‏The design idea originated from the most important element of the intangible heritage,
‏which is the traditional crafts that were mostly combined with geometric decorative
‏shapes.
‏The decorative element adopted is the ten-pointed star.
‏This element has a certain philosophy among Muslim mystics, as the point they have in
‏the drawings symbolizes God.
‏When drawing, a point is fixed in the middle, and all parts of the element are directed
‏towards the center, even if they do not point to it in a geometric sense, but they revolve
‏around it in a regular geometric fashion as if it always points to that center without
‏reaching it, just like the philosophy of the one God from which everything comes and to
‏which everything returns.
‏When the drawing is finished, the center is erased so that it does not have a tangible
‏material effect, but the lines revolve around it and confirm its existence as the world
‏around us by the thought of Muslim mystics about the one God that exists and does not
‏exist.
