It’s simple, I could rewrite this man’s work a whole lifetime.
It’s impossible to describe this talent. It was by a strange coincidence that I was came across Muhammad El-Mahdy (known as Mahdy) work. I know very little about him but what’s there to know?
His focus is Calligraphy, Lettering and Typography. Illustrated below is what I would describe simplicity at it’s finest level of sophistication; he can write one word twenty different ways – incredible.
And talking about the ‘Mustaheel’, It’s my absolute favourite Kathem Al – Saher that sings about what is impossible to describe.
Our Greatest Fears
Marianne Williamson
Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frighten us. We ask ourselves, “who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
