The 196 UNIVERSE
AN EXPERIMENTAL UNIVERSE IN RESIN, MEMORY AND LIGHT
The 196 Universe began as a personal journey of reflection, forgiveness and transformation, shaped by the people who crossed my path. Today, it invites visitors to give their own stories a form.
Nine sculptural expressions offer different ways to recognise ourselves: our dreams, strengths, vulnerabilities and room for growth. Seven stand on their own. Freedom Climbers and Hollow Souls stand with support from rods, making the role of their environment visible.
WHO ARE YOU?
WHO DO YOU WISH TO BECOME?
WILL YOUR ENVIRONMENT MAKE ROOM FOR THAT CHANGE?
Choose a sculpture that reflects your story, then an archetype whose wisdom can help you grow. The seven archetypes of the 196 Titans — Visionary, Guardian, Builder, Healer, Sage, Creator and Catalyst — offer different qualities to develop. Each visitor decides which connection has meaning for them.
With my guidance, you create your own interpretation of an existing sculpture. Resin, pigments, heat, gravity, time and chance influence the result. No two pieces are identical; responding to the unexpected becomes part of the experience.
You take home your unique sculpture in a book-shaped box — a personal chapter in who you are becoming.

7 - STANDING ON THEIR OWN
196 MOONWALKERS
Silent figures looking back from the moon toward humanity. Observing. Waiting. Reflecting. Understanding.
196 STARGAZERS
Stylized beings looking upward toward stars, dreams, ambition and future possibilities.
196 DISTORTED REALITIES
Complete forms naturally distorted while the resin remained in motion. Shaped by outside forces, seeking a fragile balance.
196 BROKEN BEAUTIES
Fragments and incomplete forms transformed into unexpected elegance. Carrying life’s scars.
196 REACTION SURVIVORS
Reformed sculptures are shaped after intense chemical reactions in the mold. Facing the unexpected and finding strength to continue.
196 UNSPOKEN WISHES
Fluorescent memory sculptures, containing light, longing, presence and sometimes even… ashes. Holding desires that have yet to find their voice.
196 GOLDEN COUPLES
The final transformation in bronze. From hardship toward transcendence. Growing towards harmony through sustained effort and care.
1+1 SUPPORTED BY THEIR ENVIRONMENT
196 FREEDOM CLIMBERS
Incomplete figures elevated on rods after surviving the casting process.
Wanting to rise, supported by others, yet needing to act.
196 HOLLOW SOULS
Translucent sculptures created by rotating the mold and letting the resin drain out.
Words awaiting action, lives needing love and support.
NEW SIDE STORIES

196 INSTALLATIONS
Sculptural compositions connecting the 196 universe with space and storytelling.
THE PROCESS
Create your own sculpture with my guidance at the Eagle’s Nest. Begin with one of the existing examples and discover what emerges.
They are not made.
They happen.
They remain.
