Description: This is an unusually spontaneous piece from me. A few days ago the volume of bad news from around the world tipped me over the edge and I woke up really depressed. On my way to the studio, I pondered where to go when threatened with this kind of overwhelm, and this title and image came in answer. I created it the same day.
The central design is made up of the word “heart” قلب. It’s not necessary for me to describe the rest – think of the things out there that make you anxious, angry or sorrowful, and you’ll have the gist of it.
