GROUNDING
Grounding is a kinetic sculpture that embodies a meditation on balance, structure, and the unseen forces shaping our environment. Its smooth, polygonal exterior presents a minimalist calm, concealing an interior of precise engineering that allows the work to respond to the gentlest movements of the wind. This duality—outer simplicity and inner complexity—invites viewers to consider the harmony between form and function.
The sculpture’s double bearing system ensures a delicately balanced rotation, transforming passing breezes into subtle, graceful motion. By engaging with the wind, Grounding reflects the impermanence and interconnectedness of natural elements with human-made structures.
Grounding, 2021. Aluminium, exterior sealant, sealed bearing. 2200 x 550 x 550mm. Edition of 3.
