São Paulo, Brazil, 1954

Quartz, a mineral present in 90% of the Earth’s crust, brings us the knowledge of its genesis: how it transforms from chaos to order, reproduces, adapts and how it evolves in different places on Earth. The quartz alphabet encodes these molecular structures and symbolizes them in geometric shapes, suggesting a new language that brings us closer to nature.

The quartz language proposes a point of convergence between the peoples of all continents, it reintegrates human beings into the natural world. The invention of this code, of this universal language, takes us back to that biblical period prior to the confusion of languages and the dispersion of peoples during the construction of the Tower of Babel.
