Arabic Calligraphy

I've delved into Arabic calligraphy, focusing on the elegant nasakh script. Mastering reading, writing, and pronunciation with Duolingo, I explored the script's proportions for calligraphy.

​

One notable piece features a quote in nasakh: "من ايقن بالخلف جاد وكيف ما عودت النافس يعود بركاء لصاحبه" (He who is sure of his past, although the soul has not returned, blessing will be returned to its owner). This quote reflects the belief that blessings return despite life's challenges.

Accompanying this quote is a ceramic bowl depicting Old Delhi's Chandni Chowk, symbolizing Delhi's resilience through seven rebuilds by different dynasties. The broken twin bowl evokes Delhi's enduring spirit amidst its ruins.
