हकीकत Haqeeqat حقيقة
an Arabic, Devanagari & Indian calligraphy project
2016-2018
Haqeeqat means truth or reality in both Arabic and Hindi/Urdu.
Envisioned as a typographic journey, focusing on creating street art and signage using Arabic and Indian scripts to develop a style and aesthetic that reflect geography, influences and the history of both regions. This endeavor is aimed to explore linguistics and etymology, together with calligraphy and artisanal crafts to ultimately draw intersecting paths between languages and cultures.
