This artwork spells Ayat Al-Kursi (Throne Verse) of the Quran. The verse is regarded as the greatest and most powerful verse as it expresses the unity and greatness of Allah and His absolute divinity, omnipotence and omniscience. It is believed to protect from many evils and to cure disease. It also reminds believers to put their trust in Allah in times of worry and fear.
Combining minimal geometry with Arabic typography, classic calligraphy and 3D sculpting, the painting praises the magnificence of Allah and the importance of Ayat Al-Kursi in letters adorned with gold leaves. By implication, it particularly inspires self-confidence and the conquest of fear and hesitation in undertaking new challenges and experiencing changes in life.
