Rana Begum is a Bangladeshi artist based in London. Her research delves into Islamic Art, from which she deduces the traditional repetition of motives. Combining geometry with brightly fluo colors, Begum gives shape to sculptures recalling both Scandinavian minimalistic looking and folded papers of origami.
