This outdoor mosaic - one of dozens - graces the outer wall of King Abdulaziz University, Girls College, here in Jeddah. The mosaics were made by students years ago. Some have fallen into disrepair but many have withstood the test of time. This one I found particularly interesting because of the 3-D octopus design. Many of the mosaics follow a nautical theme, while others chose other themes like geometric, religious, floral, or people. I'll be posting a few more of my favorites in upcoming posts, so stay tuned!

I like the colors in the mural.How old were the girls who did it?
ReplyDeleteHi Chai & Chardonnay - I'm guessing that the girls who made the mosaics were students at the university - so they would be 18-22 yrs.
DeleteThese three mosaics are all wonderful! I like all of them, but I think I like the dance mosaic the best too.
