unity

monolitic sculpture, 2025

geometry and poetry

narrative artwork

based on the three elementary basic shapes – triangle, circle and square – a sculptural exploration of geometry, volume and function unfolds. the abstracted forms are transformed into three-dimensional bodies and joined to form a sculptural unit. the result are monolithic blocks that dock onto one another, merge into one another and form a new, coherent structure.

the starting material is narrow wooden planks, which are first carefully joined and glued together. the final shape is worked out of these laminated blocks – a sculptural process. the addition of the individual bodies creates a functional sculpture – an autonomous artistic object.

the fine grain of the wood reinforces the sublime effect of the cubature. the delicate, restrained color of the material recedes discreetly into the background, leaving the stage to the clear geometry and spatial presence of the sculpture.
