Sufi schools teach about subtle centres (lata'if, "subtleties") present in the human body. There is no final consensus on their numbers and locations, but I'm most drawn to the following system. Overall, the lata'if number ten. Five are outer and belong to the world of Creation: these are the arkân (four elements) and our lower nature (nafs). Five belong to our spiritual body and are located within the heart, inside one another, so that one goes deeper and deeper inward as one journeys towards truth. The latter five are the subject of this piece. They are: Qalb قلب - the Heart. Its quality is love and longing, its colour yellow. Rûh روح - Spirit. Stillness and tranquility, red. Sirr سرّ - Mystery or Secret. Intimacy with God, white. Khafi خفي - the Hidden. Extinction, black. Akhfa أخفى - the Most Hidden. Absolute Truth, green. Materials: Acrylic on paper, hand-cut, assembled on paper. 48x48x3 cm. Framed.

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.
