Guided by the principle “Rich in Knowledge = Rich in Life," TOVA NUTS™ is a sculptural invention by TOVA: a walnut-shaped artwork with a painting held inside the shell. The nut gives the work its logic: it protects the core and gives knowledge a physical form.

Held Value belongs to the Retention Collection, informed by TOVA's research into leasehold valuation, machine learning and value preservation within structured systems. The work translates research into form, where value depends on time, remaining potential and the conditions that hold it in place.

The light shell holds a red, gold, black and white painting built through vertical pressure and layered surface. Red carries movement and risk; gold refers to retained value; black marks the system behind visible worth. The title points to value not as a fixed number, but as something held, measured and preserved.

Held Value presents TOVA NUTS™ as a compact sculptural system where research is preserved through painting, shell and form.

The artwork can be displayed in two formats: stand view and wall view.

Stand view: full height with base 87 cm, width 68 cm, depth 30 cm, base foot width 54.5 cm, total weight 22 kg.

Wall view: height without base 84 cm, width 68 cm, depth from wall 8 cm, weight without base and with the back part detached 5.5 kg.

The 22 kg weight refers to the complete object with its base, not to the sculptural body alone.
