"I am my
beloved's and he is mine"
(Original text from the Song of Songs
Chapter 2 verse 16)
Commission for a tattoo.
N.B. I make no claims to be an Arabic
calligrapher - it usually takes thirty
years of daily practice to become a
master calligrapher in Arabic!
Nevertheless, I have tried my hand at
capturing something of its spirit of
fluency in this piece, in which the
intertwined circular design echoes the
meaning of the words. |
