According to Dana Awartani, it is possible to recognize an essential, native relationship between geometry and religious and cultural traditions. The importance of geometric art in Islamic culture is part of her formation, though she recognizes the same in other traditions – from Christianity to Buddhism. After including Western art in her education, the artist began reflecting on the history of her culture’s craftsmanship and its artistic scope.
