Arty-Fact: "Arabic script has a universal beauty that you don't need to translate. The organic shape of the letters reaches your soul before it touches your eyes, and that's why it's just a means—just a tool, a medium. I'm not here to claim Arab identity. I'm here to say: the same way you have English writing in India or South Korea, how could it bother anybody to have something in Arabic in America, or in South America, or in Europe? For me, this is about highlighting the connection we have as humans. Like, I’m doing this, so maybe you would be interested in what I’m doing. Maybe you're going to start questioning: 'Why? What is this?’” ~ eL Seed
