Recitare Religare is the practice of surrendering to the idea of the sacred. It is an exercise in prayer—a form of staged mass—that invites us to entrust the possibility of being liberated from ourselves to the supernatural. Through the concepts of Recitare (literally, in Latin, the repetition of citations—the etymological root of the word "to pray") and Religare (to bind together—the root of the word "religion"), we prepare to lose ourselves in a resonance that transcends language.
The project’s visual identity is tied to the color palette of the piece. Key references are drawn from Baroque paintings by artists such as Caravaggio and Velázquez. The primary color is crimson or vermilion, set against a dark, mysterious atmosphere. There is also an emergence of fuchsia pink; in religious painting, this color signals that "better times are coming"—a vivid, beautiful, yet piercing shade of pink. Furthermore, the chosen typefaces reinforce the work’s sacred quality, evoking the style of medieval calligraphy.
