Tasbih Dzikr, Column in Burgundy with Orange Splatter.

-—————

This is an Islamic artwork. It features a Tasbih: a meditational chant in glorification of God in Islam, commonly used in prayers and supplications. There are different forms of Tasbih, here it recites and means:

Subhanallah Wabihamdihi: Glory be to God (Allah) and All Praise is to Him. Subhanallahil A’zhim: Glory be to God (Allah) The Mighty.

Dzikr: an Arabic term referring to remind, recall, remember, mention, as well as to invoke. It is an act of remembrance, as a form of prayers by chanting repeatedly in order to remember God (Allah). Dzikr is also seen as a way to gain spiritual enlightenment and achieve union in God.

Here, the Tasbih is displayed as an act of Dzikr, in visual repetition. It is calligraphed in
Arabic Thuluth-freestyle script, written repeatedly in burgundy in form of a column, against a background and accents made of rhombic dots (nuqtahs) and orange splatters.
