Considering the culture and daily life of Islams, we decided to analyze the 5 pillars of Islam, main idea of Islam, and DU’A, pray ceremony of Islam. The pendant is resembled some Islamic element or ornament. Its shape and form are simple and stylish. On the other hands, the shadow effect it provides is spiritual, impact and powerful.

The shadow effect, created by the pattern of DOA IMON on a ceiling represents the ornamental and decorative pattern in the mosque. Located in a prayer room or one's house, the pendant creates the spiritual and religious space, which seems like the mosque atmosphere. DOA IMON fulfills the empty room only with its shadow effect but builds up the great impact in the space.
DOA IMON is affordable for every Islam family with the commercially viable and low-priced material, aluminum. owning to almost endlessly recyclable ability of main material, this aluminum pendant makes it sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Creating the form of the pendant, the 5 pillars of Islam are modified to the simple geometry, pentagon. Each pillar stands for each corner of the pentagon. The 2d pentagons assemble into the 3d form, creating the outer frame of the pendant. Inner linear shape is simplified from DU'A hand gesture, both hands siding to the sky. The smallest element unit is like one hand, together with the other one, it is like DU'A hand gesture. The outer form and inner linear shapes are combined, filled the pentagon outer frame with sub element. DU'A linear shapes are placed, reflected and rotated one by one, aligning to each side of the pentagon. All sub elements form the shadow effect, resembling the centralized Islamic pattern.
