پیامی از سرنوشت

عاشق شو ار نه روزی کار جهان سر آید

ناخوانده نقش مقصود از کارگاه هستی

This piece is a collage made from cut up strips of a whimsical rendition of the poem.

‎⁨الرجال أربعة⁩

This was a piece commissioned by a good friend and depicts an old Arabic saying that translates to:

He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool. Shun him.

He who knows not, and knows that he knows not is simple. Teach him.

He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep. Wake him.

He who knows, and knows that he knows is wise. Follow him.
