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.
Release 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: every significant transformation begins long before it becomes visible. Before a market breaks through resistance, it accumulates pressure, tests multiple scenarios and reaches a point where movement can no longer be postponed. The same structure appears in personal growth.
Inside the shell, bold red forms emerge against a dark ground while a white gesture redirects their movement. The composition does not describe conflict between opposing forces but the precise moment when accumulated potential becomes action. In TOVA's research, transformation is not triggered by external events alone. It occurs when knowledge, experience and internal readiness align into a new direction. Release 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 Release means acquiring one fragment of TOVA's research into how change becomes inevitable: not when the outcome is already visible, but when accumulated knowledge is finally released into action.
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.
