Inner Growth is an enchanting and symbolic work of art that depicts man's inner development in close connection with nature. In the portrait, we see a woman's face seemingly emerging from a tree - or vice versa. The left side shows a calm, white face with closed lips, an expression of peace, reflection and inner stillness. On the right side, the skin breaks open, and beneath it grows a tree with fiery orange leaves, as a vivid metaphor for personal growth.
The cracks in the face suggest that growth involves letting go, breaking open old layers and admitting new insights. The tree symbolises strength, development and anchoring. Its branches reach out into space like thoughts or dreams, while the trunk is firmly rooted in man's inner self.
With Inner Growth, the work shows that true development comes from within, but is always connected to the world around us. Nature and man are not separate - they feed off each other. This sculpture is an ode to self-insight, resilience and the importance of being connected to the natural rhythm of life.
