"The Silent Alphabet"
This painting by Haider Al Shaybani is a vibrant example of Hurufiyya, a modern art movement that treats Arabic letters as purely aesthetic and abstract forms rather than just linguistic tools.

In this piece, Al Shaybani moves away from the rigid structure of classical scripts (like Thuluth or Kufic) and embraces an expressionist style. The overlapping letters emphasize the beauty of the curve and the stroke, inviting the viewer to appreciate the rhythm and "music" of the Arabic script without necessarily needing to decipher a specific text.
