This was a commissioned work given to the present owner as a wedding gift. Ahmad Khalid had been using the khat calligraphic scripts based on the Islamic Alif-Ba-Ta alphabets even before the National Cultural Congress in 1971. The repetitive patterning and azure colours in this work exude a soothing and contemplative quality, with the Optical Art play of silvery sheen at the centre core.
