inner force (trust your path)
in the hand: the rotating relief, adjusted by hand.

true merit lives quietly within you — a steady confidence you built, the calm engine of your own growth. inner force is the passion you carry, the way you see yourself, and the courage to stay aligned even when the world reflects something else. trust yourself, and invite feedback or support when you need it.
we constantly reflect on who we are and where we are going — adjusting, refining, rediscovering our direction. impact grows when you trust that inner compass: form your values, follow your passion, step forward. your path is yours to shape.

about this sculpture
at the heart of the work lies the guiding concept of meritocracy — a principle we all experience, consciously or unconsciously, in everything we do. as a kinetic, interactive sculpture, the piece makes this abstract idea physically tangible and involves the viewer directly. from a lateral perspective, the lenticular, precisely crafted surface projects a stark, binary pattern of black and white. yet this geometric relief conceals a captivating detail: breaking through the valleys of the prisms is a translucent, vibrant red sphere — the true core of the work.
mounted on mdf, the sculpture encourages a direct dialogue rather than passive observation. it can be freely rotated on its axis, while a hidden system of magnets enables a tactile alignment at the 12, 9, 6 and 3 o'clock positions. this kinetic mechanism turns viewing into a conscious act: the artwork challenges us to shift our perspective, recalibrate our focus, and continuously rediscover the driving inner force beneath the black-and-white facade.

frequently asked questions
what does the red sphere represent?
the sphere embodies your inner force — your passion, clarity, and the confidence you build over time. it symbolizes the energy that drives your growth from within.
why is the surface lenticular?
the lenticular relief reflects how others see you — shifting with every angle, changing with perspective. it mirrors the reality that external perception is never fixed.
what is the core message of this sculpture?
to trust your inner compass. authenticity begins inside, long before it becomes visible outside.
how does the artwork relate to self-reflection?
the piece echoes the constant process of adjusting, refining, and rediscovering who we are and where we are going. it visualizes the dialogue between inner truth and outer perception.
is this sculpture part of a series?
yes. inner force is part of the sweetspot series, exploring clarity, alignment, and the moment your inner truth meets the world.
what materials are used?
a lenticular relief paired with a red sphere — chosen for their contrasting visual languages: shifting perception versus steady inner force.
is the sculpture interactive?
yes. as you move around it, the lenticular surface shifts, revealing how perception changes with every angle while the sphere — your inner force — remains constant. the piece can also be gently rotated. a set of four hidden magnets supports the alignment at key positions, turning each rotation into a moment of self-reflection.
what does "trust your path" mean in this context?
it encourages forming your values, following your passion, and shaping your own direction — even when external reflections differ.
