About this artwork
Calligram inspired by a poem by the Welsh author Dylan Thomas Calligram "This bread that I break".
Emanuela uses the words of the text to reproduce the image of the typical bread of Milan, her hometown, called "Michetta"
Calligram Text:
This bread that I break
This bread that I once broke was wheat,
This wine on a foreign tree
In its fruit it was immersed;
The man by day or the wind in the night
He threw the crops to the ground,… the joy of the shattered grapes.
Once, in this wine, the blood of summer
Pulsed in the flesh that dressed the vine;
At one time, in this bread
The wheat was cheerful in the wind;
The man then broke the sun, then knocked down the wind.
This flesh you break, the blood you leave
ravaged by the veins, they were
Wheat and grapes, born
From sensual root and lymph; you
Drink my wine, break my bread.
