About The Artwork
This piece is part of a series pondering the ending of a world and what may emerge from the ashes. The squares that compose it are made up of the word "zawal" (which refers to the transience of all things) in geometric Arabic script. After completion, it was left exposed for a year so the silver leaf tarnished over several months, darkening till it almost fades into the background. But the gold dots, originally hard to see, are not touched by decay and stand out all the more for it.

United Kingdom
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.
