A great European master miniaturist and another great master artist are walking and discussing virtuosity and art. [...] "Painting in the new style demands such talent that if you depicted one of the trees in this forest, a man who looked upon that painting could come here, and if he so desired, correctly select that tree from among the others."
I thank Allah that I, the humble tree before you, have not been drawn with such intent.
[...]
I don't want to be a tree,
I want to be its meaning.
