40/40 is a suite of prints created in 2013 celebrating Glasgow Print Studio's 40 years in existence. 40 artists associated with Glasgow Print Studio were invited to make editions of 40 prints in whatever print medium they chose.

Prehistory and Modernity are brought together strikingly in this image, which is a combination of screenprint and digital print. In 2004, Jila completed a handmade book of ten animal shape poems based on the work of medieval Persian poet Hafez. Her image of the Horse was exhibited in the British Museum's Diamond Jubilee exhibition in 2012, alongside the famous fragment of Assyrian relief rock-carving from Nimrud, North Iraq (840 BC). Their startling similarity became the basis for this image, which examines the eternal and recurring nature of all images.

Jila has worked at Glasgow Print Studio since 1990 and has exhibited in the Gallery in solo shows in 2005 and 2010 and 2013.
