Persian calligraphy artwork by Somayeh Gholami

Description: This Kufic calligraphy painting is constructed through the repetition of a single word, written in different directions and orientations across the surface. The repeated forms create a rhythmic and interconnected composition in which the word gradually moves beyond its linguistic function and becomes a visual structure.

Set against a green background, the word appears in varying tonalities of red and black. The contrast between these colours emphasizes the movement and precision of the geometric Kufic forms while creating a sense of depth and visual rhythm.

The title, Navigating Life, with Precision and Purpose, reflects the relationship between direction, movement, and intention. Each repetition follows a different path, yet together the forms create a coherent whole—suggesting the many directions and decisions through which life is navigated.
