Artist’s Statement: In Arabic, “Zikr” means remembrance or to remember. This body of work is a visual reflection of this journey; the process of remembering a face (a state of being) that has been forgotten. Each piece is composed of a single line of poetry by a Persian Sufi poet, which is written over and over in calligraphic style.
"O nourisher, grant me a heart filled with fire
Within that heart, a pulse that is constantly burning (in love)"
– Vahshi Baufghi
