Description
I was commissioned by a local Islamic school to create this artwork. With the school in mind, I designed a garden of Heaven where beautiful birds perch on branches, each with a designated name written in Arabic calligraphy. Every bird is positioned in front of a dangling lightbulb, representing an invention created by the scientist whose name is inscribed on the branch. The wire attached to the lightbulb continues upward to the top of the artwork, symbolizing that the ideas originated from God, Allah (SWT). To convey that the leaves and flowers are not of this world, but rather from Heaven, I depicted them in a slightly unusual manner. Although I haven’t seen Heaven, I strived to make the leaves and flowers look distinct, so that viewers can sense they are not ordinary plants.
Framing
Framing is currently offered within Perth, Australia only. Because paper-cutting artworks are delicate and dimensional, framing is a little different to standard prints. I recommend a “floating” presentation, sandwiched between two pieces of glass so the artwork stays protected and visible from both sides.
If you’re in Perth, I can arrange framing and deliver to you. If you’re outside Perth, please message me with your location and I’ll share the best options and next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a print or original?
This is a 100% original, physical artwork. It is hand-cut from vinyl using a surgical knife. It is not printed, lasered, or machine-made in any way.
Can I request a custom size?
Original artworks are one-of-a-kind and come in the specified dimensions. However, we do accept commissions for bespoke pieces. Please contact us via the contact form.
How do I frame it?
The artwork arrives unrolled in a tube. We recommend professional custom framing with a 'float mount' to showcase the edges of the artwork, or a shadow box frame to emphasize the depth of the cuts.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we offer free worldwide shipping on all original artworks (unframed). We use premium couriers (DHL/FedEx) to ensure safe and fast delivery. Insurance is available on request.
What is your return policy?
We accept returns provided the artwork is received back in good condition. Return shipping and any related charges are the responsibility of the client. Once the artwork arrives and is inspected to confirm it is in its original condition, we will process your refund. Please note the refund process may take some time.
