Flowers are the visible language of an invisible yearning. Quietly and beautifully, they reveal how love transforms whatever it touches.
One of the oldest metaphors for ishq, the flower holds within it an entire journey of love. Each bloom unfolds slowly, layer by layer, just as the heart opens toward the Beloved. Turning instinctively toward light, it reflects the soul’s longing for the Divine. Delicate, fragrant, and fleeting, flowers remind us that love is both precious and transient, and at their centre lies a mystery, just as the essence of ishq is an inner reality that can only be felt, never fully explained.
The process of quilling mirrors this journey – each coil, each curve, each bloom traces the invisible paths of longing and surrender, turning repetition into ritual and motion into meditation.
