Bittersweet Shatkona

In Hinduism, the six-pointed star--comprised of two, "up" and "down" pointing triangles--is named Shatkona, and it signifies the union of male and female. This digital mosaic emulates the Moroccan zellige tradition of assembling complex geometric patterns from individual, hand-cut ceramic tiles: the artist assembled this hexagonal design by mirroring copies of a digital "tile" cut from her original photograph of American bittersweet vine's entwined branches and colorful autumn berries.
