Patriot Mukmin expresses the sublime feeling that he gets when being submerged in nature, the refreshing breeze and magnificent landscape, the air that he breathes in this artwork. These physical experiences are strung together into a Spiritual Epiphany, unveiling the minuteness of human before the un- folding grandness of nature.
In these moments, Islam recommends phrases for its be- liever to express these sublime feelings which are ‘Subhanallah’ which means ‘All praise to Allah’ or ‘Maasyaallah’ which means ‘Whatever Allah Wills’. These sentences are visualized in Kufi Calligraphy 36 times in Mukmin’s work, representing the art- ist’s Tasbih, a Dzikir in Praise of The Almighty.
