A delicate play. A woman behind glass, like a model for a painter. A suggestion of nudity. The painter doesn’t paint. He writes. In calligraphy. Beautifully, swiftly and with a modern marker pen. On the glass, a poem appears by Omar Khayyam, the most famous of the Persian poets. As the poem progresses, it conceals the woman like a veil.
