Nirmana Kayu

This wooden nirmana work is based on an exploration of balance without relying on mirroring or strict symmetry. I chose wood as the main medium because of its natural rigidity and strong visual weight, which makes the placement of each element important in creating harmony. Instead of arranging identical forms, I focused on differences in size, direction, and spacing while ensuring that the elements visually support one another. The sense of balance in this work emerges from the relationship between forms rather than from repetition. Vertical and horizontal elements interact to fill the space and guide the viewer’s eye across the composition. This creates a stable structure that feels calm but not static. Through this approach, I learned that balance in nirmana does not always come from uniformity, but can be achieved through equal visual relationships between different forms.
