Guided by the principle “Rich in Knowledge = Rich in Life,” TOVA NUTS™ is TOVA's original sculptural concept: walnut-shaped artworks that preserve research in physical form. Each work combines sculpture and painting as a single system, where the shell protects an idea rather than conceals it.
Lift belongs to the Bloom Time Collection, a series developed from TOVA's long-term research into financial markets and behavioural dynamics. One recurring observation shaped this work: meaningful movement rarely begins with speed. Before a market changes direction, it first builds pressure, absorbs uncertainty and searches for a stable point of departure. The same structure appears in personal transformation.
Inside the shell, three ascending red forms establish a measured progression rather than an explosion. Their movement is intercepted by a white gesture that neither blocks nor dominates the composition. Instead, it alters its trajectory. In TOVA's research, lasting change does not emerge by overcoming resistance but by incorporating it into a new direction. Lift translates this principle into visual form.
The sculpture preserves this idea as an object. The shell contains not only the painting but the reasoning that gave rise to it. Acquiring Lift means acquiring one fragment of TOVA's research into how transformation begins: not at the moment of success, but at the moment when accumulated knowledge finds its direction.
Technical note
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 stated weight of 22 kg refers to the complete artwork with its base, rather than the sculptural body alone.
