Serving more than its functional purpose as an accessory,
the idea of “Elixir” derived from a brainstorming process,
an attempt to approach the correlation between one’s
outward appearance and mental/emotional hypostasis.

Cogitating on the way we treat our soul and inner self,
how we chose to get involved or remain secluded,
the consumption finally transformed into a concept,
bearing this very message:
Should we be wrapping our personality, dreams and hopes,
everything that individually and uniquely defines us, so tightly,
until it asphyxiates,
as if it is some kind of product that we want it to remain
unaffected and imperishable?
Or rather treat it like the core of an “individual” solar system,
that is consistent and solid,
letting follow an evolutionary course,
absorbing all kinds of information and stimuli,
attracting or repulsing other cores through actual interaction?

Thus, the selected geometry, has a meaningful purpose.
By the employment of the strict form of a sphere, combining
it to a more loose one,
that of an elix, lies the actual sumbolism of the creation.

The syncetism of stability with infinity.
