The leaf occupies a central motif in much of his work, representing, perhaps, a multiplicity of emotions; While the appearance of the first leaf signifies spring and renewal, the shedding of brown leaves in autumn heralds the onset of winter. It is these subtleties and the complexity of the simple motif that intrigue the artist.

As Mirza concentrates on the blade, he chooses to remove it from his natural environment. Therefore, while the leaf is a prominent symbol in his work, there is generally no sign of a tree or any context beyond its shape. In his multiplicity, the artist creates a rhythm and a meaning that is far beyond his grasp.
