The Educated People

This artwork is a personal lettering illustration that visualizes a quote by the author Nizar Qabbani: “We are an educated people that wipe glass panes with newspapers and read fortune from coffee cups.”

The design combines bold, expressive lettering with vibrant colors and pop-art-inspired elements. A hand holding a traditional coffee cup, surrounded by newspaper pieces, illustrates the irony and wit in Qabbani’s words. The playful style and color choices highlight the juxtaposition between intellectual culture and everyday superstitions.
