This painting, titled *Conference of the Birds (The Journey Begins)*, is a large-scale quadriptych that explores themes of transformation and exploration through a rich interplay of earthy tones and deep blues. The composition is divided into four connected panels, adding a structural element that guides the viewer's gaze across its expansive surface. The top portion is bathed in warm golden hues, evoking a desert-like landscape or the golden hour of dawn, while the bottom section transitions into a deep blue, suggesting the presence of water or the onset of night. The subtle textures and layering create a feeling of movement and depth, as if we are witnessing the beginning of a journey into the unknown. Inspired by the classic Sufi poem "Conference of the Birds," this piece symbolically reflects the start of a spiritual quest, inviting viewers to ponder the journey of self-discovery and transcendence.
