synergy

Synergy explores the relationship between the physical body and the spiritual or energetic self.

Presented as two sculptural forms, the work reflects Karla’s perception of herself a spiritual being navigating human experience. One figure represents the tangible, embodied presence; the other embodies the energetic field that exists beyond the visible.

Together, they speak to alignment, duality and coexistence. Rather than opposing forces, the physical and spiritual operate in dialogue influencing, shaping and strengthening one another.

The work invites reflection on integration: how do we balance the seen and unseen aspects of ourselves while moving through the world?
