Origo

There comes a moment when we find deep peace. Our past and our future merge into the present moment. No more questions. Everything is one, fulfilled and alive. In that very moment, we recognise the answer to all our questions.

Origo is a form that embodies the origin – and at the same time already encompasses all the possibilities for realising our potential. Origo illustrates this interplay in a fascinating way: a centre that would not be a centre without the points, and points that would have no form without the centre. It is the same with us. Without the whole, we would be nothing. Without us, the whole would not be complete. Numerologically, too, there are very interesting aspects that Origo brings together: the twelve points — a number that has always been used across cultures to describe perfection. From the twelve months, through the 12 apostles and 12 signs of the zodiac, to the 12 semitones that make up an octave — all these forms represent the multitude of possibilities that a single origin can hold within itself.

A light source at the centre of the form transforms the geometry into a softly glowing object. The light passes through the edges, falls upon the surfaces, gathers at the corners — and the space around it begins to reveal itself in a different way. Not brighter. Deeper.
