The story behind the artwork

Engage with the elegant art of typography and simultaneously exhibit a prominence of European cities on your walls. From the prayer-calling minarets of Istanbul in the East to the Atlantic-swept harbours of Lisbon in the West, Kristjana discloses an experience of the cities’ climatic tendencies, their impermanent skylines, their hues, their worn iconic sights and their living shadows too.

• Take all of the letters for a full set;
• Spell out a meaningful word, phrase or name;
• Pluck out the individual ones that you choose to speak for you.

Whilst studying at Central Saint Martin’s, Kristjana came to appreciate how seemingly subtle adjustments within typography, in fact, have a profound influence on the world around them.

In an aesthetic twist and to square off the display on your wall, Kristjana has added to the letters of the alphabet with the symbols ampersand ‘&’ and exclamation mark ‘!’.
