“The Pinnacle Miracle” captured in The Pinnacle Desert, Australia, in 2018 by the artist Karim Jabbari, a renowned pioneer in light calligraphy, the starry night sky descends upon the mesmerizing dance of the luminous calligraphy, embodying the essence of The Pinnacle Desert itself, a place of mystery and intrigue.
The title “The Pinnacle Miracle” is translated from the Arabic text depicted and conveyed through the frozen movement of light, expertly captured using the technique of long-exposure photography. The Arabic calligraphy showcased incorporates ancient scripts such as Maghribi and Kufic, each holding profound personal significance for the Tunisian-born artist. Jabbari introduces the concept of “Calligraphity”, a term he coined to blend graffiti with traditional calligraphy, giving rise to a fresh genre of street art now celebrated globally.
