Art and Science Of Lines.

 

Writing is a complex art and science of lines. It connects messages, behaviours, languages, civilisations, time, space, creations, entities, presences and visions, all only in the world of human beings. It is truly a special nature of intelligence, an act unlikely to be found in other creations. 

And calligraphy is its craftsmanship, its art of engineering. It encodes and decodes intelligence into timeless visual signatures. It imprints knowledge and information. It imprints time and existence. It imprints order and movement. It becomes the faces of wisdom.
