Pater Noster

Verba Sacra Aeterna

“Pater Noster” explores the materialisation of language.

The Lord’s Prayer is among the most frequently spoken texts in human history. Yet its metaphysical dimension resists any physical form.

This work therefore reduces the prayer to a single sentence that can be materially conceived:

“Give us this day our daily bread.”

The ring is made of tungsten — nearly indestructible.
Inside it lies flour, the elemental precursor of bread.

Meaning is not illustrated but translated into matter.

Hardness carries nourishment.
Form contains a plea.

“Pater Noster” is not a religious illustration but a condensation:
an immaterial text reduced to its wearable core.

Concept

“Pater Noster” examines whether language can be materialised.

The Lord’s Prayer is one of the most widely recited texts in human history. Yet its full meaning remains abstract and metaphysical.

The work isolates a single sentence that can be physically imagined:

“Give us this day our daily bread.”

Tungsten forms the outer structure of the ring — a material associated with industrial permanence.
At its core lies flour, the elemental precursor of bread.

The work contrasts permanence with fragility, industrial hardness with existential necessity.

A plea for nourishment becomes a wearable object.
