"Lettering" is the title of the public art work of the artist Adrian Paci, which was inaugurated in the square between the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Finance (behind the Orthodox Cathedral. In his work, Adrian Paci often deals with the theme of memory, nostalgia and separation, through creating an engaging image of the constantly changing form of life and art. This work is the first of several, part of a project by "Harabel" that aims to place the public in close interaction with contemporary art and create a open dialogue between the urban space and art. In the material published for this work, the "Harabel" Contemporary Art Platform states that "The Calligraphy" is a work that is intended to be placed in a public space in Tirana. The two ministers stand by on the side, opposite is the Orthodox Cathedral, on the other side of the Boulevard stands the National Theatre. Meanwhile, it seems as if the work has the most intimate relationship with a tree, which stands in the middle of this small square. The material continues that the work dates from 2020, but comes as evidence of a reflection on a childhood experience. A school desk, two bronze sheets resting on it. On the first sheet, some children's markings, which are not yet words, but the starting point of a future articulation. On the other, some phrases are read beautifully written: "Tirana is our capital"; "Our beloved leaders live in Tirana"; "Tirana is beautifying day by day". In the material of the Contemporary Art Platform "Harabel" it is said that the year of writing is 1975, while the work of art comes today, as a trace of later reflection. "The work first explores the relationship of political power with language as a tool of manipulation, but it also comes as a reflection of the power of language itself, which is essentially a community of codes that acquire meaning through content, which expands or narrows the possibilities of discourse ", explained about the work "Bukurskriti" by the well-known artist Adrian Paci.
