entire half (confusion) - sculpture by ivo meier
limited sculpture | available
entire half (confusion): interchangeable spheres let the viewer reshape the composition. 
when we become aware of change, or when our lives are influenced by external forces, we often find ourselves amidst confusion.
this state demands one thing above all: letting go. only then can we discover the new path we wish to take. emptiness — the space to create something new. duality — the conscious weighing of our strengths and weaknesses. both help us to recalibrate and get back on course.

about this work
entire half (confusion) is a 3d-printed sculpture exploring self-reflection, the duality of human nature, and our inner and outer battles. it marks the moment right after awareness — when recognizing a shift, an outside influence, or a change already underway tips us into disorientation before any resolution is in sight.
beyond duality, the work investigates emptiness — a state of being without predefined content or substance. emptiness is not nothingness; it is the raw potential for something new, the space that allows us to create, think, feel, and transform.
entire half is an interactive sculpture. it invites the viewer to touch, move, or change it, coming with various colored spheres that can be rearranged to reflect different states of mind.
