This piece of Arabic Calligraphy depicts a horse using the text of Mahmoud Darwish's poem Take My Horse and Slaughter It. The poem is written exactly once, beginning in the head of the horse and finishing in the tail in the Arabic Calligraphy Diwani Jali. This beautifully evocative poem by the Palestinian poet brings forth imagery of belonging and exile, identity and resistance, and the constant struggle that defines the lives of Palestinians.
