Pixels in Islamic Art: Square Kufic Calligraphy (2020)
(wordpress.com)
When I was a little kid whenever we drove by mosques, I would be intrigued by the complex motifs they’re decorated by. I always tried to figure out the pattern; to me it was just a pattern, I never thought it can be writing because they didn’t look like letters from any alphabet I knew at the time. I remember thinking that I had finally found a full pattern that was only to be broken in the next square.
