The prints are inspired by "The Conference of the Birds", a Persian poem by Sufi poet Farid-ud-din Attar, which was composed in the twelfth century in north-eastern Iran. This poem is among his most loved works, and a significant contribution to Persian literature. Spanning over 5000-lines the allegorical poem is a powerful work highlighting the human struggle to attain enlightenment. While it is a beautiful way to introduce Sufi thought and teachings, it is a poem with many lessons for our times.
The journey takes the birds of the world through the seven valleys of the quest, love, understanding, independence and detachment, unity, astonishment, and finally poverty and nothingness.
Attar’s beguiling anecdotes and humor intermingle the sublime with the mundane, the spiritual with the worldly, while his poem models the soul’s escape from the mind’s rational embrace.
