About the project

A letter can hold
an entire story.

The composition brings hand-rendered illustration and Arabic calligraphy into one continuous gesture. The globe becomes both subject and responsibility, held delicately rather than possessed.

Built around a restrained palette of orange, black and warm paper, the work balances fine observational drawing with the immediacy of broad ink marks. Every element supports a clear emotional idea before it becomes decoration.

Visual language

Fine linework meets expressive Arabic gestures, using contrast and negative space to give the central idea room to breathe.
