Siyah mashq (lit. ‘black practice’ in Persian) originally referred to calligraphic practice sheets where words and letters were written facing in several directions and over each other, in order to conserve paper. However, when calligraphers realized how stunning some of these pieces were, siyah mashq evolved into a style of its own, where words and letters were repeated, regardless of meaning, in rhythmical compositions.

writing on hand: forough farokhzad, i feel sorry for the garden
no one is thinking about the flowers / no one is thinking about the fish / no one wants to believe / that the garden is dying / that the garden’s heart has swollen under the sun / that the garden / is slowly forgetting its green moments…
