One world, Many languages (Day 5 of 8)

Challenged myself with word art, merging Western and Eastern elements.

English 🔤 Taipei                  Chinese 🈴 台北

Taipei is the capital city of Taiwan

English 🔤 River                  Chinese 🈴 川

Nile River

Spanish 🔤  Mundo                 Chinese 🈴 世

The Spanish word "Mundo" means "world."
The word is also my Chinese middle name.

English Word 🔤  Cloud      Chinese Graphic Motif 🏮

Word "cloud" lettered using Chinese motif

See the clouds in the sky in the photo below. See the cloud motif in the carved staircase.

Plaza of National Chang Kai-shek Memorial

The cloud motif appears in architecture (above) ...
