Nur
Object for meditation by Mukhiddin Riskiyev, 2025
Ceramic disk, focal point with surface burnt in the solar furnace
Nur is a ceramic disk for meditative concentration.
On the surface of the 40 cm-diameter disk lies a single point – the trace of a concentrated solar beam that melted the clay and turned it into glass. This point becomes a focal centre, a place for both inner and outer concentration.
The number forty symbolises a cycle of transformation: transition, purification, renewal.
Within this object, two forces converge: the energy of the sun and the energy of human presence. Both are rays; both are forces capable of destruction and creation.
