House of Saud – Rebirth of a nation
The Face of a Nation Flies at Full Mast.

The Nationalist and Patriot find common ground in the face of the Flag which flies above their homeland. I present you with a new interpretation of civility and faith; a re-working of the flag of the House of Saud. The calligraphic work is my interpretation of the Shahada or the Islamic declaration of faith, which reads: La Ilaha Ila Allah Muhammada Rasulu Allah. That translates to: There is no god but Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. My reworking reads differently but still professes a proud reverence for a Faux Theocratic State.
