“You have no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You. Nothing seemed right. What's the point of bringing gold to the gold mine, or water to the ocean. Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient. It's no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these. So I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.” Rumi, Persian Poet.

The Story

"Gold Leaf on Water" marks one of my early explorations into how water reflections can reveal the essence of a culture. This photograph, taken at the Dubai Marina, captures a shimmering reflection of a building’s façade on the water’s surface. The golden hues mirrored in the ripples evoke a sense of elegance, paying homage to the intricate beauty of Arabic calligraphy, where gold is often a symbol of opulence and tradition. As I observed the abstract patterns formed by the water’s movement, I recognized the subtle impression of calligraphic shapes, reflecting the cultural and architectural richness surrounding the marina.
