This work contrasts the organic shape of the asteroid Eros, as captured by NASA, with the surface negative relief resembling memory circuits. This shape and its surface symbolize the clash between nature and the digital age. An asteroid, a natural cosmic object, represents the vast, pristine world of nature, while the memory circuitry evokes the constructed reality of technology and human knowledge. This juxtaposition highlights the tension between the organic and the artificial, illustrating how the two worlds intersect in human culture. What was once distant and unexplored becomes something that is observed, studied and redefined through human interpretation, and in the process acquires new meaning.

The orientation of the work evokes a stele, which is traditionally a commemorative erected stone with an inscription. This one serves as a tribute to my stepfather, whose research focused on natural language processing (NLP). NLP seeks to understand and model human language using computational tools. His work focused on bridging the gap between human cognition and machine understanding, an area that has important implications for artificial intelligence and human interaction with machines. The stele therefore not only honors his contribution, but also invites reflection on the evolving relationship between language, technology, and our understanding of the world. It is this concept that resonates perfectly with the choice of traditional material - marble (Bardiglio type) and robotic machining, which realizes a digital file in the material.

At the heart of this installation is the question: What lies beyond language, beyond what we can express? Wittgenstein famously said, "What we cannot speak of, we must pass over in silence," and pointed out the limits of language. The forms in this work touch on this concept, exploring the space between what can be expressed and what remains unspoken. The contrast between the natural and the digital asks the viewer to contemplate the unspeakable and the unknown, what exists beyond our ability to fully articulate.
