Harma the Ruptured

"Blessed be the mothers whose sons were spared more than Hers.
Blessed be the hearts that were torn less than Hers.
Blessed be the warriors who picked their fights.
Blessed be the eyes that have seen no more than they can bear.
Blessed be they by the Mother of the Condemned Child."

I let myself fall in love with nuances, thinking how some fictional, tribal artist would depict a character - a prophet with a past of a warrior and mother of a stigmatized child.
Also, I had tons of fun creating the fictional lettering in the background.
Inspirations: Fayum portraits, Jewish/Arab calligraphy, Amazigh tattoos, Christian iconography.
