Alì Hassoun

75 x 65 x 20 cm

Laser-cut iron

This eight-branched candelabrum with a tree-like structure features a phrase written in large Arabic letters. The words say Bismillahi al-Rahmani al-Rahimi (in the name of Allah, most merciful, most gracious). In this composition each light is slightly higher than the previous one, just like a harmonic sequence to a higher octave. The work expresses the artist’s desire for friendship among peoples and his quest for beauty in the Essence of the word..
