in everything you do, true merit is your driving inner force. trust your passion to guide your path — inner force explores meritocracy as a quiet, unshakeable engine of growth, revealed physically through a kinetic, rotating surface.
changing perspective is a phygital lenticular wall sculpture from the series liminal resonance — a physical invitation to step out of a fixed viewpoint and see the world from a different angle.
Explore "Find your Sweetspot" by Swiss digital sculptor Ivo JC Meier – a wall sculpture on balance, focus, and the space where you do your best work.
sphere of life is a phygital sculpture from the series liminal resonance — small spheres move freely within the form, echoing the idea that our inner worlds are never fixed, but gently evolving.
Creative Continuum diagrams productive friction as sculptural form: a study of tracks, tension and a focused centre that visualizes how structure and gravity channel diverse inputs into unified momentum. This limited‑edition sculpture invites reflective viewing and sparks transformative thinking about systems, alignment and creative process.
Find Your Sweetspot explores the moment when clarity emerges through a subtle shift. A gentle movement, a small impulse, a conscious pause — and the sculpture reveals where balance, focus, and resonance align. This interactive work invites viewers to engage physically and discover their personal point of equilibrium, turning attention into a tactile experience.
Trust your Values is a quietly assertive sculpture that stages integrity as form. A gold‑accented sphere held within linear forces creates a tactile, interactive tension that invites viewers to pause, reflect, and think about resilience, conviction, and what remains steady when everything else shifts.

the "entire half" cycle
this piece is the foundational element of a four-part cycle within the our silent source series, designed to be experienced as an interconnected philosophical journey:
- i. entire half (awareness) — this work
- ii. entire half (confusion)
- iii. entire half (growth)
- iv. entire half (vision)
about this work
the sculpture is profoundly inspired by the idea of duality — the state of possessing two aspects or qualities that are often opposed or contrasted. duality is a fundamental characteristic of human nature, where both our positive and negative aspects intertwine to make us who we are. rather than a conflict, this duality acts as a source of creativity, allowing us to use our internal differences to generate new ideas and solutions.
beyond duality, the work investigates the concept of emptiness — a state of being without predefined content or substance. emptiness is not nothingness; it is the raw potential for something new. it is the space that allows us to create, to think, to feel, and to transform. as a state of mind, it frees us from external and internal influences, guiding us toward our true selves.
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 or physical spaces.
frequently asked questions
what is the "entire half" cycle within the our silent source series?
the cycle consists of four works — awareness, confusion, growth, and vision — that together describe an inner movement: from first recognition, through friction and development, to clarity. each work is its own state, but only the sequence forms the complete experience.
why is the cycle called "entire half"?
the title deliberately plays with a paradox: wholeness and fragment. it describes the human condition of feeling complete and incomplete at the same time. this tension is the foundation for transformation.
how do the four parts relate to one another?
they follow a clear dramaturgical line: awareness — the first recognition of one's own duality; confusion — the friction between inner forces; growth — development through emptiness and openness; vision — synthesis and orientation. together they form an inner process mirrored in the material and the interactivity.
what role does duality play in the cycle?
duality is the central motif. the colored spheres embody opposing forces that do not fight each other but define each other. the cycle shows how clarity can emerge from this tension.
what does "emptiness" mean in this context?
emptiness is not a loss but a state of potential. it allows old patterns to be released and new forms to emerge. within the cycle, emptiness is the space in which transformation takes place.
why are the works interactive?
interactivity makes the inner process visible. every rearrangement of the spheres creates a new composition — a mirror of one's own mental state. the viewer becomes part of the work.
how is the cycle embedded in the our silent source series?
our silent source explores the origin of inner energy and the quiet force that shapes human experience. the "entire half" cycle is a core piece of this series, making the movement between opposites and the power of emptiness tangible.
what materials are used?
the works consist of 3d-printed, color-coded spheres set into a precisely made base structure. the materiality supports the idea of change and interaction.
is the work available for acquisition?
yes. the works are available as a limited edition. each edition includes the base structure and the full sphere composition, including the ability to interact with it.
why four parts — not more, not fewer?
four is the minimum number needed to depict a complete inner process: recognition, friction, development, clarity. fewer would be incomplete; more would dilute the structure.
entire half (vision) is the culmination of a triptych-turned-cycle by ivo meier — a larger, gold-accented fourth sculpture completing the entire half journey.
Diversity (Sweetspot) — a limited-edition interactive sculpture (30×30×6 cm). A reflective relief that turns contrast into harmony.
Infinity Sweetspot is the initial work in the Sweetspot series. is a focused 3D‑printed sculpture that captures the paradox of the endless within a finite point. Born as the genesis of the Sweetspot series, this limited‑edition work distills complexity into a singular, meditative form that invites close, interactive looking and reflective thought. Displayed on MDF or as a freestanding object, Infinity transforms everyday space into a contemplative focal point that encourages viewers to slow down, find their own point of focus, and think about how detail expands into a universe.

infinity is the quiet loop of practice that becomes mastery.
each repetition is a small horizon folding back into itself, sharpening hand and eye. mistakes become maps, patience the compass, and time the patient teacher that sculpts skill from habit. in that unending spiral, mastery is not a finish line but a deeper beginning.

about this work
infinity sweetspot takes a larger sculpture and distills it — a wall piece or shelf object built around reduction and focus.
attention to the smallest detail, held alongside the larger picture: that tension runs through the sweetspot series. each piece asks where focus should land, and pushes the work one level further into abstraction.

metamorphosis bronze sculpture - a personal key work

metamorphosis: the human form mid-transition, cast in bronze.
a moment where two paths first begin to resonate.
metamorphosis (2001) is a key work from my early practice — a moment where my origins in figurative sculpture and my later path already begin to resonate. i come from figurative sculpture — from closely observing the human, shaping inner states, and searching for a form for what cannot be shown directly. even today, within my abstract practice, i return to this place again and again. these works are like finger exercises of a pianist: quiet, concentrated movements that sharpen perception, keep the hand awake, and refine the gaze.
metamorphosis carries this tension within itself: the human form in transformation, the figure beginning to dissolve, an early echo of the language that would later become central to my sculptural work. a piece that quietly, but unmistakably, marks a transition.
