Longing for Return (هر کسی کو دور ماند از اصل خویش باز جوید روزگار وصل خویش - مولانا )

This piece is the second painting in a triptych within the installation, inspired by the Ney Nameh by Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī. It reflects the condition of separation from the divine as origin, expressing a longing for reunion. The work functions as a threshold, suggesting passage from the brutality of the material world toward a transcendent realm. It also engages ideas of cosmic interconnectedness and the unity of multiplicity, positioning the image as both a site of division and a space of potential return.
