كُوني الأرض — Be the Earth

This canvas is a visual dialogue between Arabic calligraphy and the delicate energy of hummingbirds.

Set against a very light blue background, three hummingbirds come to life across the composition. On the right side, two smaller birds sculpted with thick acrylic strokes — their wings built from layered purples and soft pinks, to give them a textured almost three-dimensional presence. The hummingbirds appear as though they are rising from a field of soft, scattered circles in white, lilac, violet, and blush.

 

Dominating the upper left is the large hummingbird drawn entirely in traced Arabic calligraphy. Its wings, body, and tail are shaped from the verse: كُوني الأرضَ يا جسدي كُوني الأرضَ كي أستعيدَ بلادي. The calligraphy forms the architecture of the bird itself, as though the words are the very force that lift it into flight.
