Carpet of Wind Monument

The Statue of the Magic Carpet is one of the most prominent works by the late Iraqi sculptor Mohammad Ghani Hikmat, depicting one of the tales from “One Thousand and One Nights.”

The sculpture portrays a couple seated on a flying carpet, captured in a pose that conveys motion and flight, with intricate details highlighting traditional clothing and facial expressions. The artwork represents the fusion between reality and imagination, symbolizing ambition, progress, and openness to the world.

Completed in 1989, the statue stands as one of the pieces that reflect Mohammad Ghani Hikmat’s deep appreciation for Arab heritage and his ability to bring its legends to life through art.
