States of Servitude

Dimension

120x160 CM

Type

Acrylic paint on canvas

The two Vav letters in the table illustrate that servitude cannot be reduced to a single state;
it manifests in different perceptions, orientations, and depths.
Just as the same truth appears in different states, the Vavs also come into existence in different forms.
In Sufism, Vav symbolizes the servant's bowing, submission, and awareness of his limits.
Here, the two Vavs remind us that servitude is sometimes experienced with stillness, sometimes with movement; sometimes by withdrawing inward, sometimes by opening up.
