Description
Sacred Silence explores the Arabic letter nun (ن). It is the 14th letter of the Arabic alphabet, marking the midpoint of 28 letters. In its isolated form it opens Surat-al-Qalam in the Quran making it a deeply spiritual letter in Islam. It is reversible in spelling and symmetrical in shape. The concepts of reflection and reversibility are explored to signify the dance between internal spirituality and external stillness, a journey from recognizing our existence through to contemplative silence.
