The tessellated marks function as both a decorative pattern and a practical organisational structure, mirroring how tatreez's counted grid enables both artistic expression and precise execution. The tessellation creates a modular grid that can organise content blocks, align elements, and establish hierarchies. In some contexts, the grid appears explicitly; in others, it functions invisibly as an organisational principle. The system stays flexible on the surface while keeping consistent logic at its core.
The grid itself echoes another foundational element of tatreez—the blank open-weave fabric. Just as that fabric provides structure where artisans thread their creativity and stories, Samarkand's identity becomes infrastructure where learners can create their own narratives within the framework of tradition.
