ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The knitted pattern is composed of a Square Kufic calligraphy of the word FATQ which means ripping, tearing apart, unstitching. As the fabric of our society begins to come undone and falls frayed into a polarized mess, the first threads of a golden new pattern are able to appear. Made a year after the Beirut explosion destroyed my home city, this piece became the first in a series of pieces through which I'm processing the unfolding loss of the world I knew, heavy feelings tempered by the hope that a new and more wholesome story may emerge from the rubble.

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.
