Flow of Chi
%20(2).jpg)
Concept — “Flow of Chi”
This collection draws its inspiration from the essence of Chi (Qi) — the life force that flows through all beings in martial arts, particularly Karate. Each sculptural sconce embodies a frozen moment of energy in motion, capturing the balance between strength and fluidity that defines the martial discipline.
The exoskeletal, parametric structures echo the flow of internal energy as it channels through the human body during precise Karate movements. The curves and voids represent the pathways through which Chi travels, expanding and contracting in rhythm with breath and intent.
​
The alternating compression and release in the silhouettes mimic the controlled power of a Karate strike — where tension builds, then releases with precision. This reflects the duality of Yin and Yang, balance and force, stillness and motion.
The illuminated cores symbolise the inner Chi, glowing from within and radiating outward. Just as a Karate practitioner centers their power from within, each sconce projects light through the intricate frame — a metaphor for energy manifesting into the physical world.
​
The skeletal framework conveys discipline and structure, much like the trained body of a martial artist. The interplay of shadow and illumination reinforces the philosophical underpinning of Karate — harnessing inner strength while remaining grounded and composed.
Flow of Chi — Sculptural Wall Sconces by trnkts3D
Inspired by the vital life force known as Chi in Karate, this collection explores the invisible energy that flows through all living beings — an essence of power, balance, and intent.
Each sconce captures a frozen moment of movement, translating the rhythm of breath and motion into form. The exoskeletal frames embody the discipline and structure of a martial artist, while the internal glow symbolizes the radiance of inner energy — focused, yet fluid.
Through the interplay of light and shadow, these pieces evoke the dynamic tension between stillness and action, strength and serenity. The flowing geometries mirror the unseen pathways of Chi as it courses through the body, expanding and contracting with each deliberate strike and inhale.
In these sculptural forms, energy becomes tangible — light transforms into spirit, and structure into balance.
