In this Chalipa, Mohammad Sohrabi’s poem forms the core of the composition. The lines move across the page with generous spacing, while elongated strokes, changing directions, and open areas allow each part of the poem to retain its own presence.
The repetition of “so be it” contributes not only to the meaning of the poem but also to the visual rhythm of the work, creating a subtle continuity between the separated lines.
Artwork Text / Poem:
“You said your sorrow would remain, so be it
Nothing but union with you is forbidden, so be it
I wish to greet you face to face
If death lies within that greeting, so be it”
