Persian calligraphy artwork by Somayeh Gholami

Description: This contemporary Kufic-style composition presents a Persian poem arranged within a circular form. The letterforms are transformed into a geometric structure, allowing the poem to function simultaneously as language and visual composition.

The circular arrangement creates a sense of continuity and movement, with the Persian letters forming an interconnected rhythm around the composition. Rather than focusing only on the readability of the poem, the work explores the visual potential of Persian calligraphy, transforming words into lines, shapes, and patterns.

Through the geometric qualities of Kufic-inspired forms, the poem becomes an abstract visual structure while maintaining its connection to Persian language, poetry, and calligraphic tradition.
