Movement, energy, and transformation form the core of Letters in Motion, a sculptural exhibition that invites viewers to look closer and discover meaning within fluidity. The exhibition acts as a vessel for dialogue between tradition and modernity, where script becomes movement and letters transcend their static form to occupy space, volume, and rhythm.
Through sculptural works, Foad Hamzeh redefines the boundaries of Arabic script, merging classical calligraphy with his own graffiti-inspired font to create a contemporary visual language. Self-taught and based in Dubai, Hamzeh’s artistic journey began with graffiti during his early school years, sketching in notebooks and gradually developing a deep sensitivity to form, aesthetics, and spatial expression, ultimately leading him toward art and architecture.
His practice expanded into Arabic calligraphy through rigorous training with master calligraphers, learning four traditional scripts before evolving a language uniquely his own. Deeply rooted in the ancient traditions of Arabic calligraphy, Hamzeh’s work continuously pushes these boundaries by translating script into sculptural form, integrating graffiti techniques, and bridging the past with the present. Letters in Motion presents calligraphy not as a written surface, but as a living, spatial experience shaped by movement, energy, and transformation.
