For this ongoing personal project, I select & design expressive typographic forms of a collection of words or phrases.

In this piece (below), I express the word "with your mercy" with a combination of edges and curves—as a reference to seeking the mercy of The Most Powerful. I add the raindrop as the counter of the letter 'meem' as it refers to a part of the prayer.

This piece reads 'in your remembrance'. The intention is to express strength, ease, and elegance all at once. I chose to express that through dense strokes, slight curves, and a repetitive 'kaf' to create a rhythmic and an balanced composition.

This lettering piece reads "continuing until the conquest", expressing solitary with the Palestinian struggle. The intention is to express resilience, thus, I designed it influenced by the square Kufic script—conveying rigid and firm characteristics.
