Isn't the reward for goodness, goodness itself 

Here you can see 'Isn't the reward for goodness, goodness itself', a work by Hassan Massoudy, born in 1944. Massoudy's work exists within a complex intersection of tradition and modernity. Born in Iraq and later moving to Paris, Massoudy brings together classical Arabic calligraphy with contemporary art practices. His work carries the weight of cultural heritage, while also speaking to universal themes of humanity. The flowing lines and elegant curves of Massoudy's calligraphy transcend the literal meaning of the words, evoking a sense of spiritual depth and emotional resonance. The simplicity of the black and white intensifies this effect, allowing viewers to focus on the interplay between form and content. Massoudy has said, "Calligraphy is not just writing; it is like music. It gives freedom to the line." This piece invites us to contemplate the profound connection between our actions and their consequences, reflecting on the intrinsic value of goodness in a world often driven by external rewards.
