In this work, pairs a contemporary prayer with a visual language inspired by ancient Iranian sensibilities. The text—an imagined invocation before sleep—evokes a passage between day and night, truth and illusion, vigilance and surrender. By embedding this poetic fragment within the artwork, the piece becomes a quiet ritual rather than a purely formal composition. The visual dualities echo the ethical and spiritual tension of the prayer, creating a space where personal stillness and collective aspiration briefly meet.
