Description: This contemporary Persian calligraphy painting explores the phrase “I want to be good, I want to be you,” repeated across the canvas in silver leaf and written in different directions.

The continuous repetition transforms the phrase into a dense visual field, where the words move beyond their literal meaning and become lines, rhythms, and interconnected forms. The changing directions create a sense of movement and make the composition appear different from each point of view.

The reflective quality of the silver leaf adds light and depth to the surface, allowing the written forms to shift with the surrounding light. Through repetition and variation, the work explores identity, aspiration, and the relationship between language and visual form.
