Abstract: Inspired by the Sufi-influenced cinema of Nacer Khemir, this project explores the concept of "departure without arrival", a fundamental condition of the transnational subject. The research methodology centers on the deconstruction of Arabic letters, stripping them of their literal linguistic function to reveal their underlying structural and spiritual architecture. Each piece functions as a material investigation into the "liminal space" between cultures, where identity is perpetually in flux.

By marrying fluid lines with specific color theory, the work translates the "complexities of the path" into a tangible material dialogue. This research-as-practice aligns with decolonial methodologies by reclaiming the Arabic script as a generative mapping tool rather than a purely ornamental or traditional artifact. It challenges audiences to engage with the calligraphic form as a contemporary research site where the "geometry of the soul" meets the ethics of displacement.
