As Samawat  means ‘the Skies, heavens” biomorphic patterns are inspired by Kashi kari tiles of Shah jahan masjid, Thatha. The unusual presence of pink clouds in blue and black border along with khatai motifs with gold rumi medallion and eight fold flower in the centre is my interpretation of Janat ul firdus.
