Pulled from the well-known poem by the Iraqi poet, the line he chose was your sky is raining and your road is blocked. “I was going through it back then,” he says, “I was basically confirming the worst version of the story to myself, telling myself, yeah, your life is bad, deal with it. The line felt like someone reading my fortune in a coffee cup and telling me exactly that.” He's deliberately left the piece open to more than one reading. “I like it when the person looking at it brings their own perspective; the same way you might read a song or a poem differently than the person next to you. Someone might look at this and think fortune telling from a coffee cup is nonsense, how could you possibly know someone's future from that, or think I'm lying. Or they might read it as, this really is your fortune, this really is your life, and it's beautiful as it is. That's exactly what I was sitting with when I made it."
