petra

Petra, which dates to 300 B.C., is famous for its temples and tombs carved out of pink sandstone cliffs. Its most beautiful monument is a temple almost 150 feet tall, known as The Treasury, with an elaborate Greek-style face – all of it cut from the sandstone cliffs of what has been called the Rose City. Naifeh’s Petra series uses a rhomboid shape of Islamic origin and repeats it in images of similar, almost architectural solidity.
