The Arabic proverb “One hand alone cannot clap” reminds us that strength, progress, and creation come through connection — that no gesture, no movement truly exists in isolation.

In this piece, Hakim Idriss transforms that wisdom into a visual rhythm, blending bold calligraphy with layered color fields. The background’s yellows and blues evoke both warmth and openness, while the white Arabic script flows across the surface like sound waves — echoing the very idea of dialogue, resonance, and human exchange.

The work is as much about collaboration as it is about energy — the meeting point between language, motion, and emotion.
