The sources of inspiration mark the places where a reinterpretation began; alongside them, the universities. In the background, the roads of the Roman Empire, which connected the lands where these universities are today.

1Start with an element of the world's cultural heritage

A Mondrian composition: black lines with red, blue and yellow rectangles

Mondrian was searching for the universal hidden inside reality. He believed the visible world was made of countless particular forms, but that behind that variety lay a universal order. To reveal it he progressively removed everything accidental and individual, reducing reality to its essential elements: horizontal and vertical lines, primary colours and non-colours. IMAGES OF ELEMENTS BELONGING TO THE WORLD'S CULTURAL HERITAGE WILL BE ACCESSIBLE VIA A LINK TO THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE INSTITUTION RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CUSTODY, CONSERVATION, OR MANAGEMENT.

2Reinterpret it and write an inspiring story

The Atom of Creativity: a lattice of lines, primary colours and non-colours

Starting from a Mondrian composition, we can create A DERIVATIVE WORK CHARACTERIZED BY ITS OWN CREATIVE AUTONOMY. A symbol capable of representing creativity in all its dimensions: the Atom of Creativity. Just as every material object, observed at an infinitesimal scale, is made of atoms bound to one another, every creative expression can be subjected to a conceptual zoom until it reveals an essential, lattice-like configuration. In this metaphor, the symbolic unit of creativity is made not of protons, neutrons and electrons, but of horizontal and vertical lines, primary colours and non-colours drawn from Mondrian's visual language.

3Imagine its possible applications (1)

A WorldcApp business card carrying the applied lattice

The reinterpreted element is transferred onto a design object — in this example, a business card — thereby integrating cultural value into a contemporary product through the payment of a licensing fee. As the creator, you will receive a fair share of the compensation generated. The same principle can be extended to a fashion garment.

4Imagine its possible applications (2)

A T-shirt with the Atom of Creativity rotated by 45 degrees

Theo van Doesburg, who contributed to the spread of Mondrian's Neoplasticism, recognised the dynamic potential of the diagonal and made it one of the defining elements of a new visual language, which he called Elementarism. So when the Atom of Creativity is rotated by 45 degrees, perception shifts from static to dynamic, from small to large, generating Creative Energy capable of permeating everything it surrounds.

5Conclusions

The ReHeritage wordmark, with the Atom of Creativity rotated by 45 degrees

Mondrian pursued the essential beyond forms. At the infinitesimal scale of a creative expression, his visual language — made of horizontal and vertical lines, primary colours, from which all others derive, and non-colours — can be imagined as an atom with a lattice-like structure, ready to bond with other atoms. From this elementary unit, a continuously expanding creative energy emerges: cultural heritage reinterpreted for fashion and design. In one word, ReHeritage.
