Jeweled Light
& Symmetry
Fez, Marrakesh & Imperial Meknes
Vats of Color, Hands of Labor

Built in Geometry, Designed in Color
In Morocco’s historic cities—Fez, Marrakech, and Meknes—architecture is more than structure. Here, shapes become art, adorned in vivid color. Tiled walls and intricate carvings embellish imperial gates, religious sanctuaries, and residential homes alike. In these medinas, artisans use historic techniques to ensure the beauty and design of these working cities endure into the future. This series captures not only the elegance of place but the living rhythm of cities still shaped by craft. Every carved arch and patterned tile speaks to generations of artistry—driven by a patience for precision, and by the enduring imprint of the maker’s hand.
The title Jeweled Light and Symmetry reflects both the visual intensity of the work and the layered histories these spaces carry. From the emerald greens and sapphire blues of intricately glazed mosaics to the sun-warmed brass of royal knockers and geometric doors, color is not a flourish here—it is structure, it is story. Many of the sites featured in this series, including the UNESCO-listed tanneries of Fez, are still active and central to the life of the cities that surround them. In the hands of today's artisans, the echoes of ancient techniques remain vibrantly alive.
