Kaaba Picture as a Misprint is series of prints that explores how reorienting objects distorts how they are read. The works began by Abbas breaking down the iconic image of the Kaaba into its simplest, yet still recognizable form—two rectangles, one placed atop the other. On a page of wasli paper made by the artist, these two forms were printed in the darkest black ink.

Through experimentation, these original Kaaba pictures evolved by deconstructing the black form into cyan, magenta, and yellow versions of the shape. These were then printed off center so that only when the three colors are layered upon each other is the image black.

The series speaks to the different ways in which religion may be understood and experienced; how even when undergoing the same series of events, people may process these happenings in a plethora of ways. By deeming her method a misprint, the artist links the quest for truth and perfection through religious devotion to multiple ways of interpreting that truth.
