ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This piece was inspired by and made while under lockdown during the Coronavirus pandemic, though it can also be read on other levels independent of specific events. The grid, which would normally be hidden, holds all the elements together and in relationship, no matter how distant they seem from each other. Nothing is adrift. All is in fact one. The pigments I used were those I had on hand while quarantined, as I happened to be researching inks and paints in the medieval Middle-East: cinnabar, red lead, orpiment, prepared according to the historical recipes I was reconstructing.

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.
