The drawing employs simple, rectangular letterforms rendered with uneven, gestural strokes that convey immediacy. The choice of a coarse support and the roughness of the lines contrast with the precision of the block letters, creating a tension between the mechanical appearance of typographic symbols and the organic quality of the hand‑made mark.

Created in 1987 while Mylona was based in Paris, the piece belongs to a series of drawings conceived in the mid‑1980s that explored the translation of philosophical statements into sculptural objects. The series aimed to materialize fundamental human values through large‑scale block‑letter sculptures, a project that remained largely unrealized but documented through works such as this.

During the 1980s, Mylona’s practice intersected with broader artistic concerns about language, text, and public space. His focus on universal concepts expressed in Greek aligns with a revival of classical references among contemporary artists, while the use of block lettering anticipates later typographic interventions in public art.
