The practice of calligraphy leads to slowing down time, as if time were weightless, suspended and eluding us. On the contrary, when we are in a hurry, when we are upset, time seems to speed up and seconds can seem like hours. Unfortunately the second version of history seems to predominate in our modern age, as the painting suggests. The background of the canvas, composed of slowly traced writings, has been crushed by the speed of the paint that covers them.
