Experiments with materials are an important way to gain useful insights that can be incorporated into my design project. A series of paper models were created by cutting some Arabic letters in the form of calligraphy. I started spinning these and taking photographs to capture their forms being dissolved. The main characters were not apparent in the newly created forms (the experiment with candles produced similar results). Fig.28-29 26
Fig.30 Spinning causes objects around us to fade away, as though in khalseh. One is unable to observe the distance between objects in this rotational movement—in other words they are perceived as a constant unbroken line. When spinning around, one can’t see things as they normally are: colours, forms, light and shadow are mixed and act as if they have forgotten their rational behaviour. In the state of khalseh one becomes one with the space; dissolving and melting in it. 27
