I did this linocut as an illustration for an article in Seasons jounal, March this year. The article was about disbelief in Islam. I thought it was really interesting to find out from the article that the root of the work disbelief in arabic is "kufr" which also means to cover, so a kafir, or a dibeliever is one who covers up the truth they have inside. Furthermore, kafir is the same word for a farmer, as in the person who covers the seeds with earth. The image of the seed trying to grow but being covered from the light by human hands seemed to be the perfect way to portray this complicated subject!
