P.R. I is a first attempt to abstract the formal aspects that the Rosetta Stone possesses. My interest in the original piece lies in its symbolic and linguistic nuances. On the one hand, the stone is a text in itself, a set of translations that helped decode the symbolic language of the hieroglyphs. I am interested in such an event in relation to the linguistic relativism formulated in the Sapir-Whorf theory, which holds that a particular language can intervene in the way reality is perceived. On the other hand, the stone has become a historical symbol, a tourist attraction, a fact generated through the incoporation of cultural and political meanings exerted by successive societies to the stone itself.

By using chameleonic automotive paint that changes its color depending on the light, I have tried to generate a mysterious and attractive object.
