Although communication and technology are more developed today than ever, but even so, there are more and more difficulties in understanding and accepting the existence of “The Other”.
I choose the story of the Tower of Babel – (Genesis 11: 1-9) – as an archetype of contemporary thought. In biblical times, men wanted to build a tower that would reach the sky to see the world through and from a divine perspective. God prevented this, obstructing their communication.
It was then that different languages were created, and it is said that the number of languages was 70, linking the number to the names of the descendants of Shem, who was one of the sons of Noah. Each of them is considered to be the ancestor of a nation.

The installation presents a hand-cut white rubber net made up of characters from seventy different alphabets. Seventy boards showing the biblical story of the Tower of Babel is displayed.
The birth of “The Other” (Alter) is related to the moment when the Tower of Babel collapsed and people began to differentiate themselves and not understand each other because they did not speak the same language. This installation is as a metaphor for human existence.
