Fadi tells us about himself, "As a small boy, whenever my father gave me allowance, I would buy pens and fountain pens. In 1976, during the war, a bomb exploded next to my family while we were in Hamra Street, Beirut. I was badly injured and stayed home for seven months. During that time, the only thing I could do was draw and write - it kept me alive.

I lost this passion until I was 50. Walking in the old alleys of Venice, I entered a stationery shop, as if something from those seven months came back. I bought a simple LAMY pen. On my flight back to Beirut, sitting in my seat, I started writing again. Suddenly, I remembered those days in the 70s (at home or in the hospital) when my whole world was just a small circle between my eyes, the paper, and the pen.

Since then, I return to this “nano environment,” away from daily life, where everything I loved as a child comes back to life. I began again with The Confession of St. Augustine, then discovered the beauty of Arabic letters - their poetry to the eye, and turned to writing the Quran.

Each piece I create carries a story, myths, poetry, prophets, and histories we have forgotten to reconnect. My mission is to make you read them again. I found myself in fountain pens: the sound of the nib on paper, the flow of ink, its shine on different textures. It is the freedom of living in a micro, nano world, one that takes you into the fourth dimension: time.
