Paris is famously known as the City of Light and Love. Romance and eroticism are pervasive throughout the city.
One particularly unique piece of art can be found in Abbesses Square in Montmartre, away from the busy cafés – the « Le Mur des Je T’aime» or the Wall of Love. Created in 2000 by Frédéric Baron and Claire Kito, this wall features the phrase «I love you» written in over 300 languages and dialects, including Braille and ancient Greek.
The red brushstrokes on the Wall of Love represent pieces of a broken heart, symbolising the heart of humanity, which is often fractured by the conflicts between countries and people. The wall aims to unite us through love, as love transcends borders, languages, and cultures. It is a universal truth that connects people.
Love can inspire us with its simplicity and encourage us to express our feelings freely. Love is the thread that binds our hearts together.
With my wandering pen, I take you on a journey to distant cultures and majestic landscapes.
Each time, one of my travel photographs will become a source of inspiration and motivation for writing.
An opportunity for self-reflection through cultural exploration and the power of the written word.
