Dante

The inspiration for this wall piece came from a passage from an ancient version of Dante’s Divine Comedy with a commentary included in the heart of the page. This weaving of two texts, of different languages and intentions, conveys the possible connection of a content with another and witnesses the different levels and depth of a message.

The inspiration for this wall piece came from a passage on marriage in Jibran’s The Prophet.
The spirit of the text was conveyed by dividing the mural into two parts one into the other, following ancient formats that included a commentary in the heart of the page. This weaving of two texts, of different languages and intentions, is very significant and symbolic in trying to translate the essence of the author’s words on the couple.
