Worn to red carpet event in Fez, Morocco. Text on back & breast detail make up Islamic testament of faith: "There is no god but God" (back, free form script)-- & "Muhammad is His messenger" (breast, traditional Thuluth script). Faith, & her testimony is how you live it. It is as empty as the shell of a garment, made visible only by the acts & movements of a breathing human heart. The text style of the back breaks from its medallion & turns into air, wind, forward motion. The script is invented, roughly inspired. The front breast detail serves as a reminder to always keep where one comes from in their heart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61214ad8b1d81c417f834b92/482f619a-c74c-4727-96a6-34ccf8ee68e4/Argenta_Jena10+copy.jpg Home - Archives (2011-2017) SOLD/ The Art Of Listening series, "Ra & Mim"-- 14" x 16", Sumi ink & watercolor on Stonehenge paper. https://www.jenaargenta.com/home/worksonpaper monthly 0.5 2026-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61214ad8b1d81c417f834b92/4b9aad47-620e-41ae-8c56-9d909c38f18b/Argenta+2.jpg Home - Works on Paper (2018-2024) SOLD "Sin/Frontera Be a crossroads"-- 2024. 33" x 23."
