About the piece:
The first flight (Parvaaz) for a fledgling brings with it trepidation and fear of the unknown. But it gathers courage, unravels its wings, and launches itself for the sky. Flushed with the freedom, it experiences and awash in the light (noor) its faith has brought. Parvaaz-e Noor symbolizes the power of conviction and liberation from the fears that hold us back.
