The jug filter
The jug filter is the part which exists within the neck of the drinking jar where water comes out. Its function is to filter impurities from the water where it could be seen by the drinker while he is drinking. The jug filter was improved and refined during the Islamic Periods, especially at the Fatimid Era, with beautiful floral, geometric, organic and calligraphy patterns.
I've researched these filters, trying to incorporate their patterns
with my forms, creating innovative relationships and concepts, and expressing the relation between mass and space while keeping the balance using the simple circular shape, which reflects beauty and simplicity and also it is the basis of all arts and is an archetypal symbol for the earth and life in general.
