My cartouches, too, safeguard a millennial wisdom: born as ‘theurgic algorithms,’
esoteric formulas tattooed upon my dancer’s body to bolster the shamanic (metaphysical) gesture.

My cartouches were born from a deliberate encounter that traverses another passion for the ideographic script of the Zen calligrapher and the abstract form of Islamic writing, which find their osmotic treasury within the Egyptian cartouche
bearers of my signature.”
