Summary
edit| Description |
Kabul: I love her (for knowledge and love both come from her dust) In this work, gold-leaf micrography (text shaped into images) from a seventeenth-century poem illuminates the city, inspired by a panoramic photograph taken between 1870 and 1882. Celebrating Kabul, the verses walk a main city road—not as an invading army but as a march of words of love. So, too, the poem delineates two dancing figures, with words of song upon one figure’s heart. Symbols of what was cherished by Afghans, then banned—dance, music, books, kites—are woven into the painting as if a pattern from a tribal carpet, an art form that helped to make Afghanistan renowned worldwide. Figures and mountains tower over the city as we pray for healing joy for the people, women and men alike, of Kabul. |
