It's made out of stoneware tiles and based on the idea of making a wall out of tiles, despite the fact that we always install tiles on a platform. Low fire (^04) stoneware tiles, both sides glazed (^04).
This piece was inspired by the Iranian poet Khayyam (1048 AD). He believed that people should not take life very serious and should live a happy life for the moment. In one of hie poems he is saying that: "people think that they are doing the right thing themselves (in their religion) and some others think THEY are doing the right thing. I'm afraid some day might come and neither you nor you would be right."
