This series presents work from my 2017 solo exhibition at Kentler International Drawing Space titled Language Landscape. The focus of this exhibition was the deconstruction of my late father's letter to his lover to investigate the slight variations of the letter "ye", the last letter of the Persian Alphabet in his handwriting. The chronological placement of the extracted "ye's" amounted to a comparative emotional study turned three-dimensional in a 60-feet installation following the 2-D mapping of the "ye's". The construction and placement of the ye's in the installation were developed through strict parameters dictated by their placement in the original letter.
