Religious differences are still at the root of many conflicts around the world. Due to lack of understanding of other religions, people create opinions leading to communal hatred and violence. The Interreligious Council in Bosnia and Herzegovina wanted to tackle prejudice and raise awareness of the importance of inter-religious dialogue.
We created 'One Book of Art' by bringing together common art forms from both Christianity and Islam. We studied the history of both religions and chose 8 art forms from architecture, culture and traditional elements, such as mosaics, stained glass, door carving, calligraphy, beads, carpets, relief and dome. We merged their individual styles seamlessly to create every page of the book. The art forms were adapted from churches and mosques around the world to show that there's so much more that unites us than sets us apart.
