Light has a special ability to invoke feelings. The luminescence and the tranquility of it reminds us of a life force. Combine those qualities with human writing, or calligraphy in particular, and you get a sense of intelligence in what you’re witnessing. Julien Breten, aka Kaalam, takes his passion for calligraphy to a new level with his latest work. Kaalam practices the strokes of Arabic and Eastern calligraphy styles until they become second nature to his hand, and then transforms the actions using light, long exposures, and gel-covered lamps. Simply breathtaking! – found through another My Modern Met post
