Adsum (Proof of Concept) is the first version of the work. It measures 4x4x4 in (10x10x10 cm) and was published in
an edition of five. Made of optically pure glass, it was laser engraved by Kac in Paris in 2019. This first
version demonstrated the feasibility of the project, the durability of the material, and the multiple reading
directions of the symbols.
