وحتى الشوارع تذكر اسمه / Even the streets recite his name
2025
Like most of Hamad's work, it starts with an obsession; last year he became hyper fixated on the idea of doing good for the sake of doing good. What does it mean to do good and expect nothing of value in return? What does it mean to do good in the eyes of the God watching over you? What is goodness if it is never known, never shown, never experienced directly through a person?
These signs scattered across neighborhoods, streets, and places all over the country are a manifestation of the goodness he was trying to capture. People put them up anonymously, hoping that passersby will receive the good deeds of reading this ذكر — this remembrance of God. And in turn, the person who puts the sign up also receives good deeds back. It becomes a cycle of goodness, forever in motion. An infinity loop of selfless giving.
