About The Artwork
Calligraphic composition in Kufic script, watercolor and silver gilding. To clarify, this doesn't refer to external poverty, i.e. lacking the basic needs for a decent life. It is to our shame that we allow this to exist by preventing the planet's resources to be distributed evenly. The spiritual Poverty (Fuqr فقر) represented here is a state of complete selflessness, having no desires for oneself and so being entirely in the service of the whole. This doesn't even mean living in poverty (unless by choice), but one certainly finds oneself keeping only what is needed as the desire to own things vanishes entirely. “Last night my teacher taught me the lesson of Poverty: Having nothing and wanting nothing.” ~ Rumi

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.
