Artist Name: Zainab Umer
About Artist:
My name is Zainab Umer, and I am a student of MYP 1 at Beaconhouse Newlands Lahore. I love creating art because it allows me to express my thoughts and emotions in a unique way. I am especially interested in historical places because they have amazing stories to tell.
In my artwork, I like to use different materials to bring my ideas to life. This project is special to me because it represents the peaceful and beautiful feeling of a masjid. I hope my art helps people see how important and calming these places are.
Artist Statement:
My artwork is a 3D model of a masjid. I created it to highlight its beauty, tranquillity, and spiritual significance. I carefully constructed this piece using cardboard and silver paper to give it a radiant, reflective quality. The silver surface enhances the glow of the candlelight inside, symbolising the warmth and serenity that a masjid offers.
I have always been fascinated by historical and sacred places because they hold deep meanings and stories. Through this project, I wanted to represent the masjid not just as an architectural structure, but also as a place of peace, reflection, and prayer. The glowing light from within signifies the inner peace and guidance that faith brings.
This project is my way of showing how art can capture emotions, create awareness, and inspire a sense of calmness. I hope my work helps others appreciate the spiritual and artistic beauty of a masjid.
