This is an Islamic artwork. It features a Tasbih: a meditational chant in glorification of God in Islam, commonly used in prayers and supplications. There are different forms of Tasbih, here it recites and means:

Subhanallah Wabihamdihi: Glory be to Allah and All Praise is to Him.
Subhanallahil A’zhim: Glory be to Allah The Mighty.

Dzikr: an Arabic term referring to remind, recall, remember, mention, as well as to invoke. It is an act of remembrance, as a form of prayers by chanting repeatedly in order to remember God (Allah). Dzikr is also seen as a way to gain spiritual enlightenment and achieve union in God.

Here, the Tasbih is displayed as an act of Dzikr, in visual repetition. It is calligraphed in Arabic freestyle script, written 16 times in burgundy made of Sumi and dye mix.
