Layla
Injection printed rugs, 40″ x 60″
Layla reimagines the visual languages of Persian miniature painting and rug design within a contemporary framework. Merging their geometry, rhythm, and compositional grace, the series explores unity within multiplicity—the harmony that arises when many parts form a coherent whole.
Rather than reproducing motifs, I reinterpret their sensibilities to create a living dialogue between tradition and innovation. Each piece fuses abstraction and figuration, weaving together memory, craft, and imagination to express continuity and transformation.
Developed through both hand-drawn studies and digital experimentation, Layla bridges the tactile and the technological. Inspired by Nezami Ganjavi’s 12th-century tale, the series reflects on longing, interconnectedness, and the enduring search for wholeness.
Layla stands at the threshold between past and future—a reverent yet restless reweaving of Persian art through the loom of the present.
