The extended unheard voices D02x | Ayat Al Kursi

Unheard Voices D02x | The Quranic Series is an extension to Unheard Voices D02, where it takes the main concept of creating a metal installation in space to build an experience in a contemporary take and untraditional way. The installation is based on Ayat Al Kursi, Ayah 255 from the second Sourah ‘Sourat Al Baqara’ from the Holy Quran. Using the basic shapes and baselines of type with a juxtaposition of geometric vs organic forms, D02x hangs from the high ceiling of the villa and extends downwards along the Facade.

The typography is cut 255 times resembling the number of the Ayah. Alternating heights off the baselines being the bars takes the main inspiration from written and illustrated old manuscripts that play on the letterforms extending horizontally and vertically. The aim of the installation is stating its presence in the space in a dominating way that stands out and expresses its importance, reflecting the value of the Ayah and hence acting as a reminder of its presence and importance.

This is a private piece that was commissioned for a mansion in Jumeirah Bay Island, Dubai.
