Arabic calligraphy mass presses across a blue ground with flashes of colors breaking at the edges.
They Are Compelled is a calligraphic exploration series of the chaotic emotional actions. This artwork is inspired by Salim Barakat’s poem to explore how fear rooted in the heart drives people to love quickly, betray quickly, and endure betrayal slowly. When instinct takes control, the feeling becomes action, not because it is desired, but because it is embedded in the nature of the heart itself.

"They are Compelled. by the fear of their lost hearts, to love in haste, to betray in haste, and to be betrayed slowly, with the patience of a carving etched deep into the years of their lives."
" مُرغَمون، بالخوف من قلوبهم المفقودة، أن يحبُّوا على عَجَلٍ، ويخونوا على عجلٍ، ويُخانوا بأناةٍ كالنّقش طويلاً على الأَعمار. "
