ISHTAR

The ISHTAR neon, crafted from blown glass, is a luminous manifesto, a vibrant visual poem that weaves together letters and light.
When unlit, its calligraphic lines spell the word "war" (حرب)
When illuminated, those same curves transform to reveal the word: “love” (حب).
It is as if love itself is brought to light amidst darkness.
This striking visual duality perfectly captures the perpetual shift in emotions and intentions echoing the ambivalence of Ishtar - the Mesopotamian goddess of love and war - who embodies both creation and destruction.
