Tempest makes use of curves and lines that are evident in some of our other pieces, and yet it’s wholly unique. It’s one of our few pieces at the moment that is reminiscent of Arabic culture. A culture I am wholly unfamiliar with. One I long to explore in the near future. Some of the mosques predate the Gothic period and share similar elements from their geometry to their archways. At an ignorant glance, I wonder how much was borrowed from one culture and implemented in the other.
