This artwork by Mouneer Al Shaarani showcases modern Arabic calligraphy framed by a bold red square. Thick black lines form geometric Arabic script, blending traditional and contemporary styles. A soft background contrasts with the vivid black and red, while red dots balance the design and enhance its flow. The interlocking shapes create movement and depth, reflecting the artist's precision. This piece is a striking fusion of cultural heritage and modern creativity, making it a compelling focal point.
