Calligraphy
I started to learn Calligraphy from my early age.
It is a simple art form yet profound and sophisticated.
It teaches us about the relation of lines and how to use the space.
It also teaches self discipline and concentration in the moment.
All what I learned from calligraphy is applicable other art forms as well as my daily life.
And all that I learned from life and other arts are enriching my lines and dots.
