'I AM NOT INTERESTED IN THE USE OF TEXT AS SOMETHING PEDAGOGIQUE, THAT PEOPLE CAN READ, BUT I EXPLORE THE PRESENCE OF TEXT IN OUR LIVES. MY IDEA IS THAT A LETTER IS LIKE A CELL, WITH A MEMORY. A CHARACTER IN AN ALPHABET IS SOMETHING SO PRECISE, DEVELOPED BY SUCCEEDING GENERATIONS, AND IS THE BEST EXPRESSION OF A CULTURE. BIOLOGICALLY A LONE CELL IS NOTHING, BUT TOGETHER WITH OTHERS MAKES AN ORGAN OR A BODY, AND SO IT IS WITH LETTERS. EVERY LETTER RETAINS ITS MEMORY AND PERSONALITY EVEN WHEN IT IS WORKING FOR THE MORE COMPLEX BODY, THE MEANINGFUL TEXT. I THINK THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL METAPHOR FOR DIVERSITY. WITH TEXT YOU CAN MAKE A CULTURE, WITH A CULTURE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING. THIS IS THE CONCEPT OF THE FOUNDATION STONE: AROUND THE STONE A TEMPLE IS BUILT, AROUND A THE TEMPLE A CITY, AROUND THE CITY, THE COUNTRY, THE CONTINENT, THE WORLD, THE UNIVERSE - FROM THE SMALLEST TO THE GREATEST. SCULPTURE IS A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO EXPLORE THIS WORLD OF IDEAS AND ENERGY.'
(J. PLENSA QUOTED IN JAUME PLENSA, EXH. CAT., YORKSHIRE SCULPTURE PARK, WAKEFIELD, 2011, P. 133).
