borosilicate glass  
D 170 x H 1280 mm

Object of communication, this writing tool is formed by a long tube of ribbed borosilicate glass, surmounted at its upper end with a small oval container designed to accommodate telluric objects. Suspended, this device functions like a reservoir, where pour water first interacts with the minerals before descending vertically along the conduit. During this process it undergoes a symbolic metamorphosis, becoming invisible ink capable of transmitting intimate affirmations. While the water breaks free through the small lower opening, the recipient is invited to wield the object to convey a message.
