As a non-Arabic speaker, the artist interpret the sounds and rhythms of the Arabic language in a different manner than an Arabic speaker. In this series the artist tried experimenting with the combination of meaning of the words and also the rhythmic flow of the sounds that the words create. Many people are surprised to learn that the artist does not speak the language. However, he has begun to enjoy a greater appreciation of the beauty of this language’s form. |
