About The Artwork
This is a limited edition print 47 out of 50, shipped directly from the artist. The print will also have the signatures (in Arabic and English) along with the print number written at the bottom in graphite. Dimensions: 30cm x 58cm The image of the Statue of Liberty in this piece is created using only the Arabic translation of the James Madison quote "If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.The loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or imagined, from abroad." The text is written in the Diwani Jali script. Every word in the poem is written exactly once in the body of the statue, and once on her pedestal. The original version of this piece was exhibited during the summer of 2012 in Art Lounge, Beit Eddine, Lebanon as part of the exhibition, 'Maktoob'. It was purchased by the current U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon and is currently exhibited in the Ambassador's private collection in the Embassy. The number on the certificate may vary.

Lebanon
Born 1988 in Nashville, Tennessee Currently working from my atelier in Beirut, Lebanon since 2011, I continue to pursue my education and understanding of Islamic Art and calligraphy. Working in the Diwani, Diwani Jali and square Kufic scripts, I use the words to create illustrations ranging from portraits to geometric abstract constructions. The work celebrates Middle Eastern and Islamic culture in addition to focusing on human rights in the post colonial era, with an emphasis on American and western foreign policy. With few calligraphers who use their words to illustrate rather than write, my greatest inspiration comes from Jila Peacock, and Hassan Musa. My aim is to eventually achieve the flawless legibility of Peacock's work while also grasping the visual accuracy with which Hassan Musa illegibly creates his animals and figures, using shapes and strokes inspired by calligraphy. As nearly all of the original work has been sold. I'm primarily selling limited edition facsimile giclee prints, on Saatchi, particularly only those in which at least half of the edition has already been sold.
