broken bowl series

Broken bowl is a reference to an event in a story about lovers Layli and Majnun, subject of a medieval Persian epic poem.

broken bowl is a series that I really hope to do as an installation. Formally I am exploring the deconstruction of a piece of paper. There is a poem that explores the value of brokenness.
