Planning stage
This large mosaic panel, 6 m. by 2.4 m. in size, reflects the important elements of Alevi faith through the depiction of semah routine, performed during Cem Ceremony, which is considered as the main form of worship in Alevi faith.
Symbols
Symbols of the Alevi faith, such as the sun, cranes and saz accompany the figures of men and women dressed in colourful clothing from different parts of Anatolia.
Turkish artists
The mosaic panel was designed by an artist couple
who migrated to Australia from Turkey, Hacer and
Enver Çamdal.
Mosaic form
Mosaic form was chosen as the technique for this work of art as a reference to the multicultural nature of the Australian community. A book, covering the principles of Alevism, was also produced alongside the Mosaic Project.
