Charkh-e Kabood Reversible Top – Set Yourself Free

Inspiration:

Inspired by the poetry of Hafez – where colors, calligraphy, and freedom collide

This reversible satin top is inspired by one of the most powerful verses of Persian poet Hafez:
“I serve the soul of the one who, under the celestial dome,
Is free from all that bears the stain of attachment.”

The Creative Story
“Charkh-e Kabood” (meaning The Celestial Wheel) is a visual journey toward freedom and detachment.

Swirling Nastaliq calligraphy challenges the eye to uncover the hidden verse, inviting the viewer into a poetic puzzle. Blended hues of green and purple in the background symbolize the complex ties and emotional weight we all carry.

Horses—symbols of strength and motion—move across the fabric, each painted differently, as if each has broken free from a unique form of attachment. The repeated “و” (Vav) shaped in circular motion evokes the sun—light emerging from within the shadows.

This top celebrates the idea that even while living in this world, we can rise above what holds us down.
It is a call to soar—not away from life, but beyond its limits.
