"You are mentioned, Hussein, as an example of the synthesis between East and West. Rather than confining myself to noticing its effect, I prefer to retrace an analysis of its cause, which lies in the demand for global communication, the manifestation of a fundamental intuition which made you drop formalist writing in favour of a flexible system of signs. In assuming the distant form of an old language, your signs liberate its universal value. When they distance themselves from the letters drawn, they assume architectural forms or signs of an inner landscapes, of woven fabrics and of meditation, I submit to their spellbinding power!"
- Pierre Restany
