Inspired by institutions such as CERN, Henze has always been fascinated by the beauty and simplicity of signatures as opposed to their invisible meaningfulness. Using these shapes to create an image that carries the symbolic reference of these signatures, yet dispensed from scientific interpretability at the same time, these drawings became a mere symbol for a very fundamental search. What is done at institutions like the CERN is the cutting edge of contemporary enlightenment – with all the debatable implications of this term.

The drawing is not to be understood as scientific evidence of this search, but rather an aestheticproof for our search for the absolute, for the fact that we want to know the rules that define the way our world works at its core.
