Calligraphic Mural "The Seed" 


This project is a mural created for *Les Retraites de Romy*, in the venue where these spiritual retreats are held. I used golden paint for the calligraphy, ensuring that as one ascends or descends the stairs, the soft lighting creates beautiful gradients. The calligraphy features the magnificent poem translated into Arabic: *"The Seed"* by Fadwa Tuqan, a Palestinian poet. Here it is:

The Seed  
Buried deep in the earth’s womb,  
It waits for the moment to spring forth,  
To grow,  
Like a dream long ripened  
In the hearts of those who leave and those who stay.  

The seed slumbers, but it knows,  
In the silence of the night,  
It prepares itself,  
To be reborn,  
To pierce through stone and shadow,  
And even far from the land,  
It spreads from root to root,  
Carrying Palestine in every heart.
