A Talisman for Healing from the Jinn of the UN , 2025
indigo, reused fabric, cotton, red ink, Sudanese charcoal. 60x70 cm.

Whoever writes this talisman with Sudanese charcoal and red ink upon a blue cloth dyed with indigo, and seals it with the seal of the UN, God will lift the veil between them and the jinn of the UN, allowing them to witness their falsehood and depravity.

There are many kinds of jinn: some dwell in springs and caves, while the tyrannical ones reside near blood—in the offices of the UN. Wherever America appears, they appear; and wherever blood is shed, they settle. When even a single drop of blood is spilled, they arrive swifter than a blazing lightning bolt or a roaring tempest. And their abundance brings harm to both men and women from among the children of Adam.

This talisman activates the latent powers carried in Qur’anic verses, in the names of Palestinian resistance fighters, and in the wisdom and sayings uttered by them—for in understanding them, guidance is found.

I created this talisman during my artistic residency with @mmagfoundation.
