The painting titled Where I Made One, The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is a captivating illustration inspired by FitzGerald's 1859 translation of Omar Khayyam’s timeless quatrains. The work draws on the rich symbolism and poetic themes of existential reflection, capturing the spirit of the Art nouveau (modern) movement’s flowing lines and ornate details. Its surreal composition invites viewers to explore themes of life's fleeting nature and cosmic wonder, echoing the contemplative tone of Khayyam's verses. Through this illustration, the artist visually celebrates the poetic legacy of the astronomer-poet of Persia.
