The Arch of Time (In Niz Bogzarad or This Too Shall Pass)

from $30.00

While the phrase is a staple of Persian poets like Attar of Nishapur, it is famously rooted in the fable of a powerful king who asked his sages for a sentence that would always be true—one that would make him humble in times of prosperity and hopeful in times of despair. The sages gave him these four words.

By including the English translation alongside the Persian, the artist highlights the universal nature of this wisdom, bridging the gap between Eastern philosophy and Western thought.

The artwork doesn't favor one side over the other; rather, it emphasizes the equilibrium between them. It suggests that just as the ruins once stood tall, the spring will inevitably return to the winter side.

The Arch of Time is a visual exploration of one of the most famous adages in human history. Using a split-frame "diptych" within a single archway, the artist illustrates the inevitable transition between prosperity and decay, life and stillness. This piece serves as a comforting yet grounding reminder that no state—whether bright or dark—is permanent.

Add an instant vintage touch to your wardrobe with this garment-dyed fleece crewneck. Its soft, midweight cotton fabric and relaxed fit make it perfect for everyday wear. Each piece has subtle color variations that create a unique, lived-in look.
