About this work

This drawing shows bold black letters spelling out “Πάντα Ρει,” Greek for “everything flows.” The letters look carved, not handwritten. The thick lines are hatched close together, like shading in stone. Mylona used block letters to turn a philosopher’s idea into a visual thing. Heraclitus said change is the only constant, and this work makes that idea solid. See how he chiseled the letters to feel carved. Look up Mylona, Alex (1920-2016).
