This artwork represents both Alif, the first letter of the Arabic alphabet and a symbol of oneness, and Al-Wahid, which in the Islamic tradition refers to The One, one of the Ninety-Nine Beautiful Names of God and an emblem of divine unity itself. The simplicity of the single vertical stroke evokes both the beginning of language and the infinite essence of the Divine.
 
The artwork has been hand-printed on A4 Khadi handmade fair-trade 100% cotton rag paper. After a first layer of gold, it has been hand-finished with gold leaf. Print is unframed but will be mounted on card and sealed in a clear bag before being packaged in a hard board-backed envelope. Due to the nature of hand-printing, each print may vary slightly.
