The Farsi Flows proposes a new framework for an alphabet. This alphabet bridges history, heritage, and the infinite possibilities of the future in a simple, comprehensible form. It is presented as (a grid of) thirty-two frames, corresponding to the thirty-two letters of Farsi, the artist's cultural heritage. These frames incorporate images of ancient geoglyphs from diverse cultures alongside futuristic symbols of interstellar communication, blending visual languages, codes, numbers, and signs to transcend traditional linguistic boundaries.
