Contemporary Arabic calligraphy based on the Kufic style. Salâm, translated as Peace, may be the best-known of all Arabic words, but it should not be thought that it corresponds perfectly to its English counterpart: the family of words from the root SLM express soundness, wholeness, safety, trust, surrender. The derived adjectives describe a state of being proper, sound, unblemished, uninjured. and even perfect. For this reason my design is six-fold and displays at its heart a basic construction of six-fold geometry: 6 is regarded as "the perfect number", and its symbolism fits closely. As-Salâm also happens to be one of the 99 Divine attributes: God as Peace and Source of peace, safety, wholeness and well-being. The soft green of the design is glazed with an iridescent blue, so that the colour's appearance shifts in the light between green and blue. Materials: Acrylic and metal leaf on paper, hand-cut and assembled on paper, 50x50 cm

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.
