Arabic Calligraphy

📜 The story of the face behind glass

A quiet one among the monsters. Set behind a clear resin window is a small ink drawing, a long solemn face with a narrow nose and two pale hollow eyes, the sort of figure you might find carved on an old stone.

Beneath the face runs a block of Arabic calligraphy in white on black, lines of script that turn the whole thing into a little kept secret. The window is framed in a thick border of electric blue and yellow, the only loud thing about it, so the artwork glows in the middle like a page in a lantern.

It sits on a full Clipper and reads more like a tiny portrait you carry than a novelty. Words and a face, sealed in resin, meant to be looked at twice. A single quiet piece, calmer than anything else on the shelf.
