Higher Self Series: An Artistic Dialogue with Rumi

The series portrays a woman's various stages in her journey of self-realization. Each piece is a response to and a reflection of Rumi's 13th-century Persian poems, which are calligraphed within the images.

“My wailing is heard in every throng,

In concert with them that rejoice and them that weep.

Each interprets my notes in harmony with his own feelings,

But not one fathoms the secrets of my heart.

My secrets are not alien from my plaintive notes,

Yet they are not manifest to the sensual eye and ear.

Body is not veiled from soul, neither soul from body,

Yet no man hath ever seen a soul."
