Crystal Award — The Sapphire Whisper |November 2025| Gallery Ring, Canada
Awarded the Crystal Award at Gallery Ring’s ANIMAL 2025 Exhibition for The Sapphire Whisper, a work exploring indigo light, sacred geometry, and symbolic quietude.
Gallery Ring · ANIMAL International Juried Exhibition 2025
Honored to receive the Crystal Award for my artwork The Sapphire Whisper, presented as part of the ANIMAL International Juried Exhibition 2025 by Gallery Ring.
About the Artwork
The Sapphire Whisper is an ode to serenity.
Bathed in indigo light, the Arabian horse becomes a symbol of inner stillness and sacred geometry. The blue ornamental tracings evoke the woven artistry of ancient carpets, while a single gemstone reflects the quiet illumination of faith and memory.
It is the whisper of the Silk Road — where movement and myth once intertwined.
About the Series
Part of Rugs & Reverence, this work continues my exploration of animals as carriers of ancestral wisdom.
Through digital illumination and textile-inspired aesthetics, the series investigates how ornament becomes language and how pattern becomes pulse.
My heartfelt thanks to Gallery Ring for this recognition and for celebrating artists across cultures and mediums.
