Nikolai draws inspiration from the strength and precision of gymnastics. This piece combines two of my favourite apparatus - the rings and the parallel bars - into a single form that embodies control and power.

The figure’s extended legs and stretched posture create a sense of elevation and tension, as if frozen in the peak of a demanding routine. By lifting the sculpture above its base, I wanted to capture the beauty of a body held perfectly in balance.
