Sunlight Rose Window Mosque Floor Eskişehir

by Miranda Henson

Cool reflected light fills the high vaults of a prayer hall in Eskişehir, illuminating geometric stone patterns on the floor. A massive rose window dominates the wall, yet the view through its intricate lattice shows not the sky or street, but a continuation of the same interior space, creating a recursive tunnel of arches and light. Sunlight streams through the glass, casting warm interior shadows that pool on the worn stone. The symmetrical arrangement of the vaulted ceiling and floor tiles creates a perfect axis. Dust motes hang suspended in the bright beams, while the impossible depth of the window reveals more of the mosque's interior stretching endlessly into the glass. The final beam of light hits a single stone tile, marking the edge of the impossible reflection.
