Description
This stamp adopts a more abstract graphic language to evoke Venice and its lagoon, combining stylized shapes, undulating lines and suggested architectural references. The whole symbolizes the intimate relationship between the city, water and history, while reflecting the fragility of this balance. The modern visual treatment reinforces the idea that the protection of heritage is not only a matter of the past, but also a contemporary reflection on the future. Through this approach, Tunisia shows its intellectual and cultural commitment alongside UNESCO, by supporting a universal vision of heritage as a common heritage of humanity, requiring innovation, cooperation and collective consciousness.
