ABOUT THE ARTWORK

How can you paint emptiness? This piece is one of three that attempt to depict what is not there, each with a different energy to the emptiness. The tiny five-pointed star, symbolising a human being, transforms the piece completely by creating a nearly-physical sensation of scale. The piece is round, made on circular Khadi paper.

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.
