"Mirage"

Mirage is a naturally occurring real optical phenomena caused by strong light ray bending in the air layers with steep thermal gradients, where atmospheric refraction displaces almost everything we see from its geometric position, producing complex inverted and distorted images, which may elicit optical illusions similar to hallucinations.

Mirage plays significant role in eastern mythology and sacred Muslim texts, like Koran. The word "mirage" comes from Latin "mirare", meaning "to look at, to wonder at".

The main composition idea based on eastern perception of life, like a "mirage in the desert", which tricks exhausted travelers minds only by shadows of great heavenly joy.
