The right bears text, while the left combines text, drawings, and elements drawn from the artist\u2019s personal lexicon. His unique visual language blends Chinese, Sumerian, Hebrew, and Arabic letterforms with numbers, codes, and drawings. Their calligraphy recalls manuscript pages, while their material evokes Middle Eastern and Swahili Coast tombstones. The right tablet is the beginning of the prose-poem \u201cOn Children\u201d by Lebanese-American writer and painter Kahlil Gibran (1883\u20131931).",
