Circle of Silence

Abdallah Akar Baghdad, Sweden

Circle of Silence embodies Abdallah Akar’s mastery of transforming language into rhythm. Layers of script spiral inward, forming a hypnotic vortex where letters dissolve into abstraction. The black and white tones, touched with traces of gold and red, evoke both movement and stillness — a meditation on the cyclical nature of creation, sound, and thought.

Through this composition, Akar suggests that writing can transcend its literal meaning, becoming a visual chant — an act of contemplation where the written word becomes pure form, echo, and silence.
