The original piece was made small enough so that it could be picked up and easily handled by a blind person. The original work made for the Blind Alphabet Project was accompanied by a Braille plaque containing this text quote: BIFID, BIFIDATE, BIFIDITY Something bifid , or bifidate is cleft so that it divides into two parts, some will erroneously say, ‘forked’, like a bifurcated form. If, however, we study the Latin findere that gave rise to bifid , and see that it means ‘cleave’, then bifid assumes its rightful meaning.” Willem Boshoff.
