_"Ancient Egyptians believed that a man's memory was tied more to the things he had written than to the monuments he had erected. Phoenicians and Greeks knew how to demonstrate this belief. Every block of historical traces we learn to unfold linguistic processes and evolution are sublimated within every medium I used to perfom Alef."_

This sculpture is inspired by the evolutionary process behind the birth of the letter A.

Phoenicials traced the head of the ox, which they pronounced 'Alef'.

With the Greeks, Alef became written, but in 'Alpha', with another well-known sign and nowadays, in the alphabet we all know, we use and write A letter as it is the first one of the word Alef..
