IN BETWEEN

This work is inspired by the unique properties of crystals. Beyond their healing and spiritual associations, crystals possess remarkable physical qualities that distinguish them from other natural materials. Under certain conditions—such as heat or pressure—they can generate negative ions, a phenomenon known as piezoelectricity. Quartz, for example, can amplify and transduce electric energy, while other crystals emit light when subjected to pressure or sudden temperature changes.

These properties have made crystals essential in modern wireless technologies and everyday devices, subtly altering the energies that surround us. What appears empty to the naked eye is, in fact, filled with movement, oscillations, and patterns of energy. Though crystals do not belong to the animal kingdom, they share qualities often attributed to living beings.

As Nikola Tesla observed: “In a crystal, we have clear evidence of the existence of a formative life principle, and though we cannot understand the life of a crystal, it is nonetheless a living being.”
