Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian is best known for her mirror-works, in which cut polygonal fragments of reverse-painted, reflective glass are arranged into kaleidoscopic compositions grounded on principles of Islamic geometry. Dissecting and reassembling the traditional surface construction of the mirror-mosaic, each of her works is anchored by central polygons, whose numeric properties have symbolic meanings in Islamic design.
