The everyday beauty of a Muslim home: a brass lantern in its niche, the coffee dallah, mint tea on a tray, pomegranates, a prayer mat, a tiled courtyard and the new moon over the domes. Warm still lifes and interiors in saffron, terracotta, teal and brass that sit with Ramadan & Eid all year round.
