ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This piece is part of a collection reflecting on the worldwide destruction and loss that mark our times, but also on what endures, or may be waiting to emerge. This composition is in Square Kufic, spelling out the word FAQD meaning "loss". The colours came from plants I gathered as summer was starting to wane: st john’s wort, coreopsis, marigold, goldenrod and yarrow. Light and time are making the vibrant hues fade, each in its own way—but the genuine gold of the seed-like dots will neither fade nor tarnish. Note that the fading is quite slow and gradual, and can be stopped with UV glass if desired.

Joumana Medlej
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.
