Hi Everyone, Here is a personal environment art piece That I am working on since some time now. This is based on Indo-Islamic architecture. We can see a convoy progressing through a large gate. It took much much longer to finish than expected. But I am happy the way it came out. Enjoy.

The Bible depicts Nebuchadrezzar II and his city as doomed, but to his own people, he restored Babylon to glory.

The Tower of Bable was likely the Ziggurat, Etemenanki (Temple of the foundation of heaven and Earth) which was dedicated to god Marduk (deification of Nimrod, Alulin) in the ancient city of Babylon. Originally 298 feet in height, it now exists only in ruins.
