Empty Decree

I illustrated a calligraphic manuscript of the Loren ipsum language to demonstrate that it visually appears important, ceremonial, religious, or antiquated while it ironically + intentionally means nothing.

Black parchment, ink pens, straightedge, pencil

Lorem ipsum is meaningless Latin text that fills printed space. From the era of column inches and manually justifying text, it’s for proofreaders to catch placing content substitution as layout preceded content.

This project was intended to show meaningless content appearing important.
