Summary

Islamic art embodies a unique aesthetic paradigm distinct from other traditions, rooted in mathematical order, fractal structures, and cosmic continuity. The study introduces the concept of 'Spiritual Haptic Space,' arguing that Islamic art transcends traditional dimensionality by using lines as fractal modulators to represent life and truth, rather than merely depicting it. This is demonstrated through examples like the Divriği Great Mosque's geometric designs and calligraphy, which align with Kant's 'purposiveness without purpose' and minimalist artistic practices. The research also explores how contemporary art can reinterpret Islamic art's participatory, collective aesthetic, suggesting a dynamic, interactive approach to visual expression.
