About this artwork
I wanted to depict a square encircling a circle. This creates an inflated shape that resembles the shape of a circle. I wanted to address the adaptation of two forms. The square shape has taken on rounder and softer forms of the circle.

Egon Digon is a master of Val Gardena wood carving who creates fascinating works from solid blocks of wood by hand and with chisels. His technique reveals a unique distortion of geometric shapes, creating visual illusions and extraordinary complexity that take the material beyond its traditional appearance. His art embodies an emotional landscape that explores softness and malleability in the otherwise rigid medium, inviting questioning and irritation to enable a continuous, creative new beginning.
