at one point in the distant past (specifically the year 2017), i used twitter as an art medium for thoughts.

one evening at artist ali sabet’s studio, we conceived a project where these words would channel
images instantly, from one medium into another, a collaboration in the truest sense of the word.

it was a spontaneous approach between word & art, within the confines of minimal characters & white space.

we discussed the production of a limited-edition, pretty & compact art book as the conclusion.

a draft was quickly put together. the images flowed.

then, time past. ephemera.

nearly forgotten, a text ignited the memory.

so i decided to put out this manuscript, nearly untouched from edits, with the same ethos that composed it.

here lay words by amir motlagh, art by ali sabet, from the past, into the future.
