About The Artwork
Unryu metal paper, hand-cut, and watercolour on paper. 76 x 56 cm This piece started out as another calligraphic depiction of a cosmological system, with the golden Sun شمس intersecting the silver Moon قمر, but ended up reflecting an alchemical theme. Sun and Moon here are not the physical or even astrological objects, but age-old symbols of the opposites: day and night, masculine and feminine, outer and inner, yang and yin... Coniunctio oppositorum is the alchemical term describing the union of these opposites, of which is born an integrated wholeness no longer split by duality. The cut paper is assembled so that each ring is on a separate plane slightly inclined towards the background, furthest from it where it goes over the other, nearly touching it where it goes under.

I'm a British-Lebanese artist who moved from Beirut to East London about a decade ago. I'm best known for reviving archaic styles of Arabic calligraphy (the Kufi scripts) and the medieval art materials that accompany them. My work reflects my experience of the world as being alive with mystery. It invites the viewer to step into this forgotten space by holding them in wonder and stillness: in this vulnerable moment, when one is silenced by beauty and by not-knowing, remembrance can stir. To this end, the work takes on different shapes, from images of contemplation made up of unreadable words to multisensory interactive objects that tell an unspoken story.
