About this artwork
Starting from a square shape, I created a new, soft shape. The work of art appears almost organic and has lost its original form. In order to emphasize the organic aspect, I dabbed the work of art with a blunt needle after the carving was completed. The surface is therefore soft and has the characteristics of foam. This makes the deception of the material even more real.

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.
