This art project is an abstract and artistic example of World Literature. This piece features paper, gouache, and fabric and represents the connections of different countries, cultures, and languages coming together through the discipline of World Literature. The paper sculpture represents different countries, the paint represented different languages, and the fabric represented different cultures. The boxes are piled on each other to represent the bringing together of countries through World Literature. The paint “drips” or bleeds onto each other to represent the melding and combining or integration of different languages into other countries and cultures through World Literature. The fabric represents the different cultures that makeup countries and how similar cultures can be found in different countries, over transnational boundaries. This project overall demonstrates how tightly knit the global world is and how World Literature can represent that. This being said, the bottom box is larger to show how, unfortunately, some counties, such as the US or England may have more influence on World Literature than others.

This piece is a representation of texts that we have read and films we have seen by showing the complexity and colorful cooperation of different identities and components that make up groups and individuals. Some specific texts are Borderlands and Cry, Mother Spain and the film “Persepolis” which deal with overlapping and complex identities made up of the melding of countries and cultures and represented with language.
