Introducing Serenity, a stunning blend of art and engineering that will captivate both mechanical enthusiasts and art lovers alike. At first glance, the bird silhouette may appear to move randomly, but behind the scenes, two rotating arms spin in perfect harmony, powered by a clever compound mechanism. This graceful motion creates a mesmerizing dance that’s as intriguing as it is beautiful.
With its commanding wall presence, Serenity is sure to draw attention and spark curiosity. The balance between precision mechanics and the natural beauty of the materials makes for a striking visual that won’t go unnoticed. The sculpture is crafted from imported Baltic birch, with its stunning wood grain left untouched to highlight its raw texture and warmth. Meticulously sanded and stained where needed, it’s treated with multiple coats of durable urethane to protect it from UV light and humidity, ensuring its beauty endures over time.
In place of typical wooden mechanical parts, Serenity features high-quality polished brass pins that add a luxurious touch and enhance durability. The motion is powered by a stainless steel constant force spring, delivering smooth, consistent energy through a steel spring belt—far superior to rubber belts that degrade over time. This guarantees that the sculpture's motion remains fluid and long-lasting.
Winding Serenity is easy—simply turn the lower pulley counterclockwise about 22 times, and the sculpture will spring to life with a gentle push from the spring. As the longer arm in the back slows and reverses, it triggers another push, creating an endlessly flowing motion that’s both fascinating and soothing.
Whether you're an art collector or a fan of innovative design, Serenity is sure to be a conversation starter, adding a touch of wonder and elegance to any space.
