Meditation for PEACE

THOUGHTS

NeSpoon 2012–2042

THOUGHTS is a record of meditation dedicated to peace in the world, preserved in porcelain.

The process of creating ceramic petals from leftover clay from other works began intuitively and without a defined purpose. Week after week, each petal became more delicate and precise. I devoted increasing attention, focus and care to their formation. Gradually, this simple and repetitive act transformed into a meditation for peace — a quiet practice of directing thoughts toward harmony, compassion and coexistence between people.

While shaping the petals, I experienced calmness and inner balance. My thoughts became clearer, filled with hope, gentleness and a sense of connection with others. It felt as though these meditative intentions for peace were materialising into fragile white porcelain forms.

The project began in 2012 and will continue for as long as I am able.
The final exhibition will take place in 2042.

Over the years, I have continued forming petals in the places I visit around the world. I sit quietly, observe my surroundings, and allow thoughts about peace, humanity and shared existence to flow freely through my mind. In those moments, my fingers shape petals that become a physical trace of these meditations.

This process reminds me of early sound recording methods, where a vibrating needle carved grooves into wax, preserving sound. Here, each gesture records a moment of reflection and an intention for peace.

Each petal takes about one minute to form.
I aim to create 50 kg of petals every year. By 2042, the project will consist of approximately 1500 kg of THOUGHTS.

I believe that the sound created by THOUGHTS carries the energy of these meditations and invites reflection, calmness and peace — both within ourselves and in the world around us.
