Public artwork set up at the Saint-Louis College in Montreal.

Inspired by science, nature, and the Saint-Louis College motto, “a window open to the world”, this poetic work illustrates the wealth of knowledge. The complex shapes of this triptych are reminiscent of the shape of cell bodies and everything that is indivisible. The work refers to technology through its many ramifications which are a stylized representation of the Internet network through which multiple data pass. It symbolizes knowledge-sharing, which paves the way for our society’s progress and openness to others and to the world. This interpretive work takes on scientific, social, and philosophical notions.
