The work centers on the placement and construction of letters and on the way they relate to one another in forming a unified composition.

Text / Poem in the Artwork:
“No moon can match the radiance of your face
Before you, the flower loses its splendor, the plant its bloom
The corner of your brow is the dwelling place of my soul
No king possesses a corner more pleasing than this”
