“In this three-dimensional calligraphy, rendered in "square Kufic" script, he cleverly transforms the namesake Qur’anic verse "Whoever obeys Allah, he will make for him a way out" into a maze; remarkably, his calligraphic composition not only renders the words of the verse but visually re-creates its meaning.” – LACMA
