The image displays a canvas with a complex layering of calligraphic text, inspired by Persian script. The background transitions from a vibrant turquoise at the bottom to a deep blue at the top. Over this gradient, the script is applied in thick, black strokes, with the individual characters varying in size and form, creating a textured, almost three-dimensional effect. The script is not uniform and appears more as an abstract expression rather than legible text, suggesting the focus is on the artistic form rather than readability. The layering of the script, along with the color gradient, gives the piece a dynamic, flowing quality.
