About the work
In physics, a singularity is the point where all known laws break down — infinite density, space and time collapsing into something the equations can no longer describe. Nasernia takes that word and encodes it literally. In a tondo 120 centimetres across, his Crazy Kufic letterforms spiral inward or radiate outward — impossible to read, but unmistakably in motion. The circular format is not accidental. The tondo has carried cosmological weight in painting since the Renaissance: used for Madonnas, for celestial diagrams, for images of things that exceed the rectangle's ability to contain them. Here it becomes a model of a universe in which language behaves like matter near an event horizon — stretched, distorted, pulled toward a centre, but not quite gone.
