Description
This 5 millime show features a traditional rider whose silhouette is entirely shaped by the art of calligram. Using the letters of the Arabic alphabet to draw a moving figure, artist Hatem El Mekki merges sacred writing and North African equestrian folklore. This stamp celebrates the pride and nobility of the country's warlike and festive traditions, while demonstrating the graphic flexibility of the Arabic script. It transforms a symbol of national identity into a modern work of art, where the rhythm of the letter becomes the driving force of visual storytelling and cultural expression.
