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.

Meditation for PEACE
THOUGHTS NeSpoon 2012-2042
Thoughts are a record of a state of meditation in porcelain.
Making ceramic petals, with left over clay from other works, began without any clear purpose and almost subconsciously. Weeks passed and I noticed one petal after the other looking finer. I was devoting more and more attention, focus and precision to the formation. Gradually this seemingly purposeless and simple process was becoming more rewarding. I felt calm, my thoughts became orderly and I was filled with peace, optimism and serenity. It was almost as if the meditative feelings were somehow materialising into the form of fine white petals.
The project started in 2012 and I will continue for as long as I am able. The final exhibition will take place in the year 2042.
In the following years I started forming petals in the places I visited.
I just sat, looked around, and let my thoughts flow freely through my mind. In that moment, my fingers formed the petals recording each my thought in soft clay. This process somehow reminds me of the old way of making records, when the vibrating needle carved grooves in the wax matrix, recording the sound.
Each petal takes about a minute of my time to form.
I aim to make 50 kg of petals every year. By 2042 my goal is to have approximately 1500 kg of THOUGHTS.
I believe that the sound created by THOUGHTS releases my materialised peace and allows the mind to be cleansed.
My canvas is part of the exhibition “ARTE URBANO. De los orígenes a Banksy” at @fundacioncanal in Madrid, Spain.
