A place to step inside, climb, and see things differently.
II / IN YOUR HANDS
A different view.
The same world.
Move around the sculpture. Discover the spaces between the fingers, the sunken terraces, and the globe at its heart.

III / WITHIN THE FINGERS
Not just a sculpture.
A world to enter.
Five individual fingers. Five interior journeys. Follow the floating steps as they trace the curved walls, from a ground-level entrance to a terrace or concealed room above.

An angled form reaching toward the globe. Inside, a winding stair follows the wall to a recessed terrace in the fingertip.

The shell is sectioned here to reveal the interior. The complete model retains its exterior.
IV / HIDDEN WORLDS
There is more
within.
Inside the two closed fingertips, the journey continues into a quieter space. A second floor sits halfway up each finger, concealed by the uninterrupted exterior.

01 / THE ARRIVALSpace to emerge.
Space to emerge.
Room to stay.
Rounded access openings follow the terrace edges, keeping the standing area open. The floors sit within the fingertips; perimeter rails rise from the rim.
02 / THE ASCENTSteps that follow
Steps that follow
the form.
Wall-mounted treads change in depth and shape as the fingers bend. In these overhead studies, the shell and floor are hidden to reveal how the steps stack vertically.
