This art is inspired by a poem by:

Jahangir Payvar

(translation of the poem below)

Candle

The flame roared

sighed

and opened its tongue;

Damn to darkness

if it did not exist

I would not burn

like this

شمع

آتش به سر گرفت

زبان گشود و‌گفت

لعنت به این تاریکی

اگر او‌نبود

من اینسان‌

نمی سوختم

شعر از: جهانگیر پایور
