"Chromatin"
is a stylized description of the organization of DNA molecule as a
chromosome in the nucleus of cells. It utilizes the cultural heritage
of the Ottoman arts and combines it with the genetic heritage of cells
symbolized by the DNA molecule. In Ottoman arts, the Whirlpool of
Golden Horn (Helezoni Tugrakesh) is a classical abstract motif that
first appeared on Iznik Chini tiles and pottery during the reign of
Suleiman the Magnificent (ca 1530-1600). Today, it is possible to
