"Unlocking Insight" is a striking sculpture measuring 42x17x16 cm and weighing 2.5 kg, crafted from iron and basalt. The piece features a wire-formed figure holding a large key, symbolizing the search for deeper understanding and wisdom. The intricate ironwork creates a delicate, almost ethereal quality, while the solid basalt base grounds the figure in reality, providing a powerful contrast between the fragile and the strong. The figure's contemplative posture suggests a moment of reflection, as if on the verge of a profound revelation.
