Wujood is an animated tapestry woven together through a mosaic of electronic components.

Illuminated by thousands of LED bulbs, the piece serves as a visual ode to the rooted nature of the Arabic language, emulating the fractal intricacies observed in nature — from the smallest seed to the farthest star. The piece straddles traditional craft and technology, presenting unfolding words through the rhythmic glow of LED panels.
