Description

Mehdi floats beyond gravity’s grasp, a celestial nomad carrying the echoes of Bedouin poets, the call to prayer stretching across the event horizon. His helmet is no mere artifact of engineering—it is a coronation, an arabesque of brass and mother-of-pearl, inspired by the astrolabes once wielded by Abbasid astronomers, their wisdom reborn in circuits and constellations.

His suit gleams with the luminous precision of Islamic geometry, woven in silk-threaded embroidery reminiscent of the Kaftans worn in the royal courts of the Mamluks. Sapphire-encrusted clasps glint like the mosaics of Shiraz, reflecting nebulae in their fractured blues. His journey is a resistance—against erasure, against the myth of space as a blank slate rather than an extension of history. Mehdi is not lost in the void; he inscribes himself upon it.

The universe is not a cold expanse but a realm rich with memory. The scent of bakhoor lingers in his ship, a tether to Earth, as gravitational waves pulse with the rhythms of darbuka drums. He moves as an inheritor of star maps inked in Kufic script, a gay Arabic astronaut rewriting the heavens. Mehdi does not merely travel through space—he reclaims it, a sovereign of the infinite, where identity and cosmos collide in radiant motion.

About the Artist

🧚‍♂️ Hey, it's Toby here. I created this artwork with the help of AI. But this isn't just any old AI output...

Since 2023, I've generated over 8,500 AI artworks and less than 250 of them are available on my store. The finest selection from these grand experiments, because only the best will do.

And I never (ever) using living artist’s names in my prompts. Always referencing artists out of copyright like Kay Nielsen, Botticelli, John Singer Sargent and others. Reimagining the past through a timeless lens that’s only possible because the future is now ✨
