[...] In the beginning, there was the cube—an audacious yet fitting symbol of geometry, representing the very essence of place, of the spaces where we have always stood with our feet firmly grounded, gazing at the sky. Through time, everything and everyone has been transformed, from Narcissus's first encounter with the mirror of water, to those who, despite witnessing many sunsets, continue to trust in the dawn, in the return of light. For no one can exist without it, even if they cannot see it with their own eyes. It is the energy of the seasons, the chlorophyll of trees, life as a dream by day, and the dream as life by night. It is to these things, to all that we have seen, that we see, and that we will see, that the original unity of the one/all and the all/one is woven, each of us carrying our own fragment to construct an endless tonal, rhythmic scale. Every artistic creation, every scientific discovery, is an event already inscribed within the universal order and the molecular secrets, blending the good with the beautiful, the genius with the virtues of intellect—multiplicity and originality—born from a culture of knowledge and will, seated together upon the shared throne of the imagination. Hic et nunc, like a vast mirror cube, a symbol of the ancient and the natural on the outside, while within, the magic of the visible becoming invisible and the invisible becoming visible unfolds, exploring mysteries and virtues, the joys of art, and the ethical and aesthetic multitudes.
