ATTEMPTS *3 - Alessandro Zonta

Attempts decided to start the new year by opening the doors to other lovers of this discipline. We have selected Alessandro Zonta, a promising Italian modern calligrapher, as you can see from the pictures that follow this quote that inspired the production of this collection. “- Everything written symbols can say has already passed by. They are like tracks left by animals. That is why the masters of meditation refuse to accept that writings are final. The aim is to reach true being by means of those tracks, those letters, those signs - but reality itself is not a sign, and it leaves no tracks. It doesn’t come to us by way of letters or words. We can go towards it, by following those words and letters back to what they came from. But so long as we are preoccupied with symbols, theories and opinions, we will fail to reach the principle. - But when we give up symbols and opinions, aren’t we left with the utter nothingness of being? - Yes.” — Kimura Kyuho, Kenjutsu Fushigi Hen
