Glass Calligraphy

I’ve always been drawn to traditional art forms, not just for how they look, but for what they carry. There’s history, legacy, and a certain stillness within them.

This piece was inspired by the marble inlay technique in Mughal art and architecture.

There’s something incredibly timeless about pietra dura, a technique that doesn’t just decorate a surface, but becomes part of it.Also known as parchin kari in the Mughal world, this art form is rooted in the careful process of carving into marble and embedding precisely cut stones to create intricate designs.

This piece isn’t traditional marble inlay. But it’s my way of understanding it, translating it, and connecting with it in my own language.
