This
section allows you to view the projects that Fe-Noon is involved
with, past and present. These are usually published research or
illustrated lectures:
The Geometrical Cosmos
of Arabic Numbers
Discovering the Archetypal Shapes of Arabic
Numerals
Writing was not at the forefront of the cultural priorities which
the Arabs were concerned with before the advent of Islam. The culture
of the Jahiliyya depended on the role of memory and oral delivery
in transmitting everything connected with its history, its arts
and its epic tales, and written records were but rarely resorted
to.
The Attributes of Divine Perfection
The Concept of God in Islam
- Multiplicity in Unity
The subject matter of this project is derived from "The Most
Sublime Purpose in Explaining the Attributes of Divine Perfection",
the treatise by Abu Hamid al-Ghazzali (450-505 AH / 1058-1111 AD).
Published as a bi-lingual book (English and Arabic) it is complemented
by the artwork of the Ahmed Moustafa, and is accompanied by a three
dimensional artifact of the Cube of Cubes. The project is an objective
representation of the inherent relationship between the One and
the Many, an embodiment of the well-known hadith ‘God
has ninety-nine names, one hundred minus one. Whoever enumerates
them enters Paradise.’
Multiplicity in Unity - his visual depiction of the Attributes
of Divine Perfection makes the relationship between Unity and
Multiplicity immediately accessible through its concrete and tangible
form
The hidden dimension of The Cube
It is an uncontested fact that any perfect cube has 6 equal square
sides. Everyone is perpendicular to the other in their interrelationship.
This however gives rise to the formation of 8 apexes, each one being
a meeting point of 3 sides of the cube and at the same time is the
top of a triangular pyramid; the base of which is the equilateral
triangle constructed by the 3 diameters of the aforementioned 3
sides.
