Meditations on Some Answered Questions (Studio One, Auckland NZ, 2021) draws inspiration from 'Some Answered Questions', a collection of philosophical, spiritual and ethical discourses by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá that explore the relationship between science and religion, the evolution of the soul, and the moral progress of humankind. Translating these reflections into a visual language, the exhibition comprises nineteen black-ink “meditative illustrations” which transform abstract thought into abstract form.

Each work is conceived through a methodical, contemplative process in which line, gesture and symmetry become acts of reflection. Geometric, biomorphic and calligraphic forms recur throughout the drawings, evoking the interplay between intellect and intuition, order and mystery, oneness and diversity.

The exhibition examines how abstract form can embody spiritual inquiry, employing repetition, rhythm and balance as tools for contemplation. In doing so, it invites viewers to consider how knowledge, faith and creativity might coexist — and how the search for understanding can itself become an artistic practice.

Presented alongside the exhibition, a publication of the same name extends these explorations into print. Containing nineteen extracts from 'Some Answered Questions' and their corresponding illustrations, the book also includes two introductory essays outlining ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s life and writings, as well as the symbolic framework underpinning the visual meditations.
