About The Artwork
Qâf ق is an intriguing letter, which crops up in significant places: as an isolated letter in the Qur’ân, or as the name of the cosmic mountain, the pole of the world, that is the goal of a long journey in Attâr’s Conference of the Birds. This piece is made out of a single sheet of paper, painted and cut, then assembled to create subtle changes in level until it reaches its peak at the centre, evoking Mount Qâf and the seven valleys that must be crossed to reach it. This version is a small-scale study I made before the full-scale piece.

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.
