Rooted in Gold
Available$160
A gold tree rises from a ground of flowing Persian calligraphy, its bare branches reaching into a deep teal field layered with visible texture. The script beneath forms both root and wave, as if language itself is the soil from which the tree draws life. Metallic gold against the cool blue creates a quiet tension between permanence and motion.

ON THIS WORK
In Persian and Sufi tradition, the tree is a map of the self: roots sunk in memory and word, branches lifted toward what cannot yet be named. Here, the calligraphy does not merely decorate the base; it flows in the rhythm of water and root both, carrying the weight of language as living matter.
The teal ground was built up in layers, each pass of the brush leaving a record of its own movement. Against that churning depth, the gold tree stands still, precise where the background breathes. The bareness of the branches is intentional: presence without ornament, a form that holds its ground.
This piece belongs to a body of work that treats text and image as inseparable, where a word can become a wave and a branch can carry the cadence of a verse. It asks the viewer to slow down, to let the eye trace the calligraphy the same way it follows the reach of bare wood into open sky.
