John 14:27: My peace I give to you (KLPS 14 & 15) Painting

Acrylic on paper calligraphic works that mix the style of Byzantine funerary inscriptions and contemporary graffiti, aim to demonstrate how the Holy Book translations differs between cultures. In the verse John 14:27 (My peace I give to you), the word of peace is the translation from the Hebrew greeting word Shalom (Şalom) and it means the same in Arabic as “Salam (Selam in Turkish), but in Greek translation of the word peace is Eirene and this is not a greeting word. This verse is written in contemporary Greek as “εἰρήνην τὴν ἐμὴν δίδωμι ὑμῖν” (eirínin tín emín dídomi ymín). But these calligraphic works include Middle Byzantine’s capital letters and these are appropriated from an octagonal wedding ring from the 7th century (Dumbarton Oaks Col. 47.15).
