Babel
Add Your Heading Text Here
In this piece, space had to be occupied above all by words.
A necessary exercise in restraint and analytical abstraction, the principles of geometry became the correct formula.
The point is the most succinct form in geometry. The point as the beginning of any form. Paragraph end point.
Here, a space launches its matrices, a virtual or structural grid. The square to launch the construction of a new place: Babel – the space of words.
From geometric rigour to the sinuous line of the point, geometries collide. The dot serves as a projection of any place, a container for organic mass: paint interpreted as the blood of words. The beginning of possibilities when we decide to step out of line, get our hands dirty, make mistakes and make a (vanishing) point possible.
