Closed doors; protection or curse?

Papercut Typography Conceptual Wooden Frame - The Duplet's Journey

Don't we often find a door closed in front of us and blame our fate for missing the opportunity?

What if Allah is protecting you from a danger!

"But Allah is your protector and He is the best of helpers" (Al Imran: 150)

We came across this meaningful and timely quote in Ramadan 2020, when people were too facing closed doors and cancelled opportunities because of the sudden hit of COVID-19. We wanted to portray these words in an artistic and purposeful manner to spread a spark of hope out there from us.

The worn out closed door, brick by brick construction of life, and the quote itself coming in layers of highs and lows are all composed together on 10"x7" Wooden Framework.

When one door closes; Allah opens many more doors for you, in order to give you something better. It's a matter of time and patience. So don't keep looking back at that closed door, see it as a blessing from Allah. Have complete trust on Him, seek help and always be grateful. These phases of ease and trial are all just a part of a greater plan.

When you're holding onto some coins tightly with your hand and Allah wants to give you gold coins, you have to let your coins go first or at least open your palm to receive more. Thus new opportunities are created when we let go of the old ones.

We went for various typefaces in single quote to let those vibes aligned with the words as well as to make them stand out. We certainly love experimenting with different techniques every time!

The details and shadows of papercutting is of course to let you experience adventure through the layers of paper and feel the beauty of handmade.

And lastly, the simple rustic corner look of Papercut Typography and Illustration Wooden Framework, designed to spread a meaningful message in an artistic way. 🤎

Design your story with The Duplet's Journey, and be a part of our journey as well!

Stay safe, stay creative, stay tuned! 🎉

Let the houses still be colorful and celebrating in the very different 'stay home' Eid!

The moon has been sighted, streets are decorated with beautiful lights. Wearing new outfits, everyone is excited to meet and greet their dear ones. New recipes being tried in the kitchen, new plants in the rooftops add the sparkle. That's the scenario we experience every year. As things have been a bit different with the pandemic, we attempted to picture some 'stay home' eid traits in paper illustration last year. We wondered if the situation is going to repeat itself and it did, unfortunately. Let's take a tour to a traditional arabian style neighborhood and have a glimpse of their colorful celebration. P.S: you won't get infected by the visit. 👀 Hanging embellishments have been the must have decor for eid in the neighborhood, to light up the darkness while creating the festive mood. Not so crowded mosque far away is calling for prayer. A very different Eid. Silent and dark. Mostly the crickets chirping outside. But the homes are as always colorful and celebrat...
