The picture shows a detail of a tile pattern as is more often found in Morocco. The tiles are green in colour, with white joints adding to the pattern. Each tile is square in shape, but stands on end, making the tiles look like diamonds. Between the squares are smaller octagonal tiles, also green. These connect the larger tiles and create a harmonious, rhythmic whole. The pattern is sleek, but not cold. The combination of shapes and colour gives the picture a lively feel.
The green colour of the tiles is rich, varying subtly in tone, giving the picture just a little more depth. The white joints provide contrast, keeping the pattern clearly visible even in lower light. The overall look is typical of Moroccan architecture, where decorative elements are often applied with care, including on floors and walls.
This picture was taken in Morocco, where traditional tile art still plays an important role in the streetscape as well as in interiors. The image shows how colour and form come together in a simple but well thought-out design. The photo especially emphasises the graphic nature of tile work and the tranquillity of repetition.
