The world is diverse, colorful and individual: No living being and no element is the same as another. And yet human beings are created from the same basic building blocks, shapes and structures.

This principle of life also gave rise to the idea of the M-BOX. It is a symbol, a sign of this diversity, broken down to a basic form.

A room within a room, an object, made with perfect craftsmanship and yet of absolute universality. It is the individual who fills the M-BOX, assigns it qualities, gives it identity.

Regardless of age, gender, religion, skin color or nationality, the owner and viewer determine the content or message of the M-BOX.

As an object of Minimal Art, the M-BOX is a border crosser. And sets a clear sign for diversity by excluding any exclusion and leaving it up to us to decide.

Worldwide, the M-BOX for all nations (FAN) is intended to "promote" the idea of dialogue between PEOPLE - CULTURES - RELIGIONS - NATIONS and thus contribute to a good and peaceful coexistence.
