A quote by the poet Khalil Gibran, made in the Eastern Kufi style of Arabic calligraphy, based on 11th-century Qur’ans from Khurasan. The materials used are historical (gallnut ink, semiprecious pigments, shell gold) and the paper is dyed with madder. The text reads: "The sea ebbs and floods, and the moon wanes and waxes, and time has summer and winter, but the Real doesn’t alter or pass away or change." This piece was created as part of a series, on the invitation of the Woolf Institute in Cambridge, for its 2022 exhibition "The Written Word".

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.
