Calligraphic art for BBC’s SAS: Rogue Heroes

Ruh was commissioned to help produce calligraphic artwork for the highly acclaimed television series SAS: Rogue Heroes. The calligraphy was specifically chosen to suit the time-period and relevance to where it would be used, in this case a prison cell in Cairo, Egypt. The artwork was carefully crafted by Ruh Al-Alam and Muhammad Hadi, which later went into production by set designers, who carved it into a stone wall of the prison set.

Check out Episode 1 of the series to get a glimpse of the artwork in the cell.
