Poetic words can comfort, in a quiet and beautiful way. Poems in calligraphy. Written by hand with an eye for fine details. A keepsake to hold on to.
Your words or chosen text, written just for you. Let yourself be inspired by the gallery, and get in contact for a quote based on your wishes. Most of the examples are German poems, at this moment there are just two in English – but more to come.
I am Petra Rüth, a researcher of historic scripts, type designer and artist based in Berlin. I care about letters.
I was engaged with themes of grieving long before my training in hospice care. There should be room for sorrow in everyday life. With my work I wish to give help and refuge to those in pain. Bring to life something which stays and comforts – a source of strength.
By the way, Zuspruch means either consolation or encouragement in English.
