Mixed media abstract painting incorporates a variety of elements like cloth, stones, twigs, sand, and other embellishments seamlessly blended with acrylic paints. Its true essence is best appreciated in person, as images or video clips don't do justice to its intricacies.

My painting drew inspiration from the profound words and philosophy of Rumi, reflecting his wisdom and spirituality in visual form.
 
Rumi's poetic imagery often evokes the journey into the unknown, including passages through the metaphorical dark forest. One of his poignant quotes is: "The wound is the place where the Light enters you." This suggests that from the depths of our struggles or darkness, we can find enlightenment and growth, akin to finding light within the shadows of a forest.
