This striking wooden sculpture presents a modern interpretation of the human form, characterized by its unique geometric construction. The figure seems to emerge from a series of vertical and horizontal wooden elements, creating an effect of fragmentation and movement. The natural wood finish highlights the craftsmanship and the beauty of the material, while the meticulously arranged cut-outs lend depth and visual interest. The elongated proportions evoke a sense of elegance and abstraction, inviting viewers to interpret the piece in various ways. The neutral tones of the wood add warmth, making it a versatile addition to various interior styles, from contemporary to minimalist.
This sculpture can serve as a stunning focal point in a living room, art gallery, or modern office space. Its unique design makes it an ideal choice for open spaces where it can be viewed from multiple angles, promoting an engaging conversation starter. Additionally, it could complement a variety of interior designs, including Scandinavian, industrial, or contemporary settings.

With human flow SURTUR, Manfred Hellweger has created a sculpture that addresses the fragility and transience of human existence. Made from local sycamore maple, the work consists of individually crafted wooden slats that are assembled to form an abstract human figure. The figure tapers toward the bottom, appearing to dissolve — a symbol of transience and transformation. This creative dissolution gives the work a flowing, floating impression, lending it lightness and depth.

Hellweger's works, including this sculpture, invite mindfulness and raise questions about life's essentials.

The finely polished surface has been treated with a special wood oil that preserves the natural, light tone of the sycamore maple and protects it from yellowing. Resting on a solid steel pedestal with a signature, the sculpture maintains its grounding—a contrast to the apparent dissolution of the body into the vertical.

His artistic credo – not “more and more,” but back to the essentials – becomes impressively visible and tangible in this sculpture. It invites the viewer to pause, consciously perceive the moment, and confront their own transience.
