Elian Script can be described as a calligraphic cipher that evolved from arranging the letters of the Latin alphabet within three 3x3 grids This gesture resulted in alphabetic script comprised of lines and dots, which subsequently introduces compositional rules to convert its angular structure into fluid, flexible strokes. This “line jazz”—as the artist refers to it—promotes greater flow and smoother hand-arm movements, thus enabling variations of the same word, echoing the aesthetic qualities in Asian calligraphy. Elian Script has inspired an online micro-community on platforms like Reddit and Tumblr, where users share creations ranging from notes and poetry, to comic strips and artworks written in Elian.

The displayed scrolls represent numbers 6 and 19 from a series of 35 scrolls that transcribe the text “Art of Nao,” written by the artist. The term “nao” itself is a fusion of “now” and “tao,” and it encapsulates a life philosophy that blends Western pragmatism with Eastern universality.
