About The Artwork
This is an unusually spontaneous piece from me, born from a day the volume of bad news from around the world tipped me over the edge into a leaden feeling of depression. On my way to the studio, I pondered where I could find a sanctuary when threatened with this kind of overwhelm. This title and image came in answer. The central design is made up of the word “heart” قلب in Square Kufic calligraphy. The darkness besieging it is made up of words that it isn't necessary to describe – think of everything out there that make you anxious, angry or sorrowful, and you’ll be able to guess them. It’s not necessary for me to describe the rest – think of the things out there that make you anxious, angry or sorrowful, and you’ll know.

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.
