The Quran: Form, Fragrance & Feeling is a multi-sensory exhibition curated by Esen Kaya and housed in the Aga Khan Centre Gallery situated at King's Cross, London. 

Yasmin was asked to create a bespoke ceramic artwork which is to take direct inspiration from the Aga Khan museum's collection of ceramic artworks from the SWANA region.
