Drunkenness | ثمل (C

Original verse

سنتين، وقارتين،
ومئات الكؤوس،
وذكرى هاتيك القُبَل.

English translation

Two years, two continents,
hundreds of glasses,
and the memory of those kisses.

Drunkenness originates from a single verse written by the artist, tracing time through distance, repetition, and memory. The line unfolds as a quiet inventory—years passed, places crossed, moments consumed—where intoxication is not only physical, but temporal and emotional.

The calligraphic text is suspended beneath a sweeping red form that moves like a current rather than an object. Rather than illustrating the verse, the composition allows language to dissolve into rhythm and weight. What remains is not excess, but residue: the aftertaste of time, distance, and accumulation.

Developed digitally and realized as an archival giclée print, Drunkenness treats language as structure rather than narrative. The work invites prolonged attention, where meaning is allowed to hover rather than resolve.
