A tribute to Kurt Gödel, the brilliant mathematician who overturned Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead’s monumental work, Principia Mathematica. They aimed to prove that mathematics could be entirely grounded in logical principles, presenting it as the universe's fundamental structure. Gödel's groundbreaking theorems, however, showed that such a foundation was impossible, revealing that no formal system could prove all truths in mathematics. Since then, mathematics has had to be reimagined, embracing structures beyond logic alone. So was art, with the adaptation of this premise by René Magritte for his work "This is not a pipe"
