The Fly

No. 45 of 50 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeA common fly seen from above, drawn small and exact on a green leaf inside a round frame on a plain ground.

What it meansAl-Hajj (22:73) says that those called upon besides God could not create a fly even if they all came together, and if a fly took something from them they could not take it back.

Where it worksClever and understated; suits a study, an office or a small corner.
