Anger غضب

"The Children of Israel kept asking Moses: 'Does God pray?' Moses kept quiet and did not answer. They urged him again and again. Finally God said to Moses, 'You are My messenger; through you I communicate with My people. Tell them: God prays; and His prayer is, ‘May My Mercy precede My Anger.''"
— Al-Hakim al-Tarmidi

    Creation process:

    This didn’t express the intensity of the feeling at all, so I decided to forgo the usual concentric design and look for something imbalanced.
    The mental image of ع open like ferocious mouths led me to this direction.
    Lines inked and most of the dots marked, to be then painted in black Japanese ink.

    A penny for your thoughts...
