The Iranian Space Trilogy

This is an essay or philosophical text about creativity and artistic form-making. It argues that giving form to an idea is the most difficult stage of the creative process, while modifying an existing form is comparatively easy. The text distinguishes between technical form-making, which is taught in art schools, and the deeper act of creating form without prior models to reference. Though humans working in the material world can only recombine forms they have already experienced, the author contends that the wholeness they create nonetheless carries some connection to truth. The passage begins introducing a triadic structure that supposedly embodies the essence of Iranian space, but the text cuts off before completing this thought.
