Above the hotel is a glowing infinity symbol. The size of countably infinite sets, like all natural numbers {1,2,3, .... ∞ } is denoted by Aleph Nought ℵ0 shown on the two flags.
Each print is printed by hand in indigo, lavendar, mint green and dark navy blue ink on Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper, 8” x 10” (20.3 cm by 25.4 cm).

Release your inner Hilbert. Find the axioms and assert them.
It's OK to seek out axioms. Even if you aren't a genius.
Look for the truth in the simplest possible terms. That's why we have been placed on this troubled Earth. Us postulating axioms is His will.

Happy birthday to #mathematician David Hilbert (1862-1943)! This #linocut illustrates the paradox of Hilbert’s Grand Hotel, a thought experiment conceived by Hilbert in 1924 to show the paradox of infinite sets. If you imagine a regular hotel with a finite number of rooms, if they are all filled you can’t add more guests. In an imaginary infinite hotel however, guests are always welcome! 🧵
