“Your amazing and graceful calligraphy has hung on my wall since the night I returned. But I never thought I would live and die with one image. But your art is living. I stare at it on my wall and I always see something new. Like an abstract painting it reveals itself to me. My name. My mark. Language , art, and connecting with strangers. This act already means so much to me. It’s life. And I wanted to share this with you and say. All humanity is connected and you’ll always be with me.”

Why I’m Interested In Calligraphy: ”Because it looks beautiful and watching it be made is also beautiful. Also, because I like the Chinese people, really hardworking people devoted to their goals. So, in a nutshell, the Chinese calligraphy whether used to write Chinese or any other languages, is a beautiful way to express your feelings, including about art and as an art. I got my name done by one lady named Xu Zi in Chinese calligraphy. She does it so well. She works in Battery Park. I hope she becomes good friend of mine. God bless her.”
Arif from Pakistan
Notes on Arif: Once I had done Arif’s name in Chinese calligraphy, he wrote the lovely entry in my form. Then, I showed him that on the back of the form, I have a list of the Chinese symbols for certain words with their English meaning beside them. These words include, from top to bottom, Hello, Thank You, Good Bye, Peace, Friendship, Freedom, Healthy, I Love You, Love. Arif then wrote these words in the language of his people, Urdu, one of the world’s most widely used languages, in a beautiful script handwriting. I then was able to make these words in Urdu with calligraphy beside his writing. Both of us learning from each other.
