Handbound in laser cut and engraved wooden boards with Coptic binding of linen thread. Signed and numbered by the artist. Islam Aly: "In the Metamorphoses series, I am focusing on Islamic art and design.

The patterns in the book are combined, duplicated, interlaced, and arranged in multiple combinations that are precise, beautiful, and symbolic.
