American Foreign Policy One ‘The Peace Sign’ – Arabic Calligraphy

A hand giving the peace sign is depicted using Islamic Calligraphy written in the Diwani Jali script. While the hand itself reads the phrase ‘American Foreign Policy’ repeated several times, various other words are written in the background of the piece such as:

The Automobile, Banks, Capitolism, Christianity, the Dollar, Europe, Greed, Interest, Israel, Monarchy, Money, Oil, Power, Segregation, Usury, Trade, Tobacco, War etc.

This piece is partnered by another piece ‘American Policy Two: F%&! Off’ which depicts a hand giving the ‘V Sign’. For those of us Americans, unfamiliar with the ‘V Sign’: the V sign is an offensive gesture in the UK and throughout much of the rest of English speaking world. It’s general meaning would translate as ‘F%8! Off!’ or F%$! You!
