Arabic Calligraphy – The V Sign
Click here to buy limited edition prints.
A hand giving the ‘V Sign’ is depicted using Islamic Calligraphy written in the Diwani Jali script. While the hand itself reads the phrase ‘American Foreign Policy’ repeated several times, various other words are written in the background of the piece such as:
Afghanistan, Africa, Arabs, Choice, Community, Foreigners, Freedom, Homosexuals, the Humble, the Hungry, Ideology, Iran, Iraq, Islam, Mexico, Native People, Palestine, the Poor, Truth, etc.
This piece is partnered by another piece ‘American Policy One: The Peace Sign’ which depicts a hand giving the peace sign. For those of us Americans, unfamiliar with the ‘V Sign’: the V sign is an offensive gesture in the UK and throughout much of the English-speaking world. Its general meaning would translate as ‘F%8! Off!’ or F%$! You!
