The Poster of Peace

The One posters were adapted from various churches and mosques around the world. The Byzantine mosaics of Palatine Chapel of Italy were merged with the Girih pattern mosaics of Bibi Khanym Mosque in Uzbekistan. The stained glass windows from Selimiye Mosque in Turkey were merged with Cocteau’s stained glass windows of Église Saint-Maximin de Metz in France. The doors are inspired by the Hasan 2 Mosque of Morocco and San Augustin Church of Philipines. And the calligraphy has been brought together from the inscriptions on Wazir Khan Mosque in Pakistan and St. Martin's Church in England. Elements of both religions from different corners of the world were brought together on a poster which also became a sleeve for the One Book, a book that shows the similarities between the teachings of the Bible and the Quran.
