Description of the work
The artist chose the “daleth,” a Phoenician triangular grapheme that also means “door,” to pay tribute to the Lebanese community in Montreal. This letter, which brings together several elements with strong symbolic potential, allows him to permanently inscribe in a public place very frequented by this community, Marcelin-Wilson Park, the memory of the first Lebanese arrivals in Montreal.
In the form of an open pyramid integrated into a layout made of plants, a path and granite slabs, Daleth presents three paintings. On one side, a road in perspective points towards the top of this triangular mountain where the cedar, emblem of Lebanon, triumphs. This path is the symbol of the traveling trade that occupied the first Lebanese arrivals as much as the door allowing the meeting of diverse cultures that constitutes immigration. On the second side, three oars emerging from the granite structure recall the history of the Phoenicians, ancestors of the Lebanese, who engaged in the trade of cedar wood by boat. On the last side are inscribed the 22 Phoenician graphemes, the first alphabet invented by this people.
Mihalcean’s work is understood as a profusion of symbols that ultimately gives rise to the viewer’s personal appropriation of the meaning of the work. Thus, by including various key elements of Lebanese culture and its history, Daleth offers several perspectives through which to commemorate the first contingent from Lebanon to arrive in the region.

This was another example of the infographs I wanted to utilize in order to add a bit more than words. I like that this one gives an example of a few specific types of the condition rather than the grapheme.

synesthesia: i see numbers and letters in these colors in my mind.
a chat with christine yesterday reminded me that i n others have various forms of synesthesia. i have 'grapheme-color synesthesia,' (automatically associating numbers and letters with specific colors), 'number form synesthesia' (automatically mapping numbers), and 'ordinal linguistic personification' (attributing personal qualities to ordinal sequences like numbers, letters, days...). the color bit certainly helped me a ton when i had to memorize dates for history exams in high school (it's so much easier for me to remember the year 1925 as "white-brown-blue-black" than as a simple number)
