My artwork was based on a drawing
that shows salam within a bird.
It shows that the bird is actually
the peace itself.
You can see that the bird is made
of the word salam in Arabic, and inside of it some of the 99 names of Allah are
written.
The bird’s wing is made of the
letter “L” in Arabic
The bird’s feather tail is made of
the letter “S” in Arabic
Every time I look at it, I feel like
I want to fly, when I look at it I see freedom, I see peace and innocence. Art
can give different feelings to different personalities and people in general.
To me this project gave me hope and made me look at birds in a different way.
How I picked this idea at the first place was that I always thought of birds
how they can go anywhere they want, how we see them going from a place to
another wherever they want, whenever they want. So I thought of how peaceful
they are and the freedom they have. So I wanted to relate it with Islam and
make a beautiful piece out of it. I included some of the 99 names of the
creator Allah inside the bird, and the reason behind this is I want everyone
who looks at my artwork to look at the bird and then read the names of Allah so
that they remember two things, that god is the creator of everything, and to
remember that god is peaceful and merciful and that there are a lot of peaceful things in life and to take it further in life and think about peace
and Islam together.
