Have you ever imagined yourself living in the dark ages, thinking what would happen to you? Or even what would you do?

Don't worry if you haven't; as someone who lived it, I can give you a sense of what it looks like.

It might not look dark in a physical manner, but there is no source of moral and or spiritual light there, which is what makes it dark. The denial of light, the ignorance towards love, and the man-made roles of supremacy that divide people and put them against each other are what hinder the light and make a period the darkest age.

We know the sun won't stay behind the clouds. History has shown us that it would not remain the same either, whether the time it was happening in Europe or nowadays when it is happening in Iran. That is what makes it important for each one of us to think of what we can do. How can we spread our love to humanity because love is the light that guides us in the darkness?

I made these pieces once I read, “Like a moth, one must be a lover of the light, in whatever lamp it may shine,” with the will to remind and encourage each of us about the importance of love. Hope you find it the same way.
