Description

Guided by the principle “Rich in Knowledge = Rich in Life," TOVA NUTS™ is a sculptural invention by TOVA: a walnut-shaped artwork with a painting held inside the shell. The nut gives the work its logic: it protects the core and gives knowledge a physical form.

Value Trace belongs to the Retention Collection, informed by TOVA's research into leasehold valuation, machine learning and value preservation within structured systems. The work translates research into form, where value is not fixed but changes with time, duration and remaining potential.

The light shell holds a red, gold, white and black painting built through horizontal layers. Red carries pressure and movement; gold refers to retained value; white cuts through the painted field as a protected opening. The title points to what remains after fluctuation: a visible trace preserved inside a stable form.

Value Trace presents TOVA NUTS™ as a compact sculptural system where research is preserved through painting, shell and form.
Technical note
The artwork can be displayed in two formats: stand view and wall view.
Stand view: full height with base 87 cm, width 68 cm, depth 30 cm, base foot width 54.5 cm, total weight 22 kg.
Wall view: height without base 84 cm, width 68 cm, depth from wall 8 cm, weight without base and with the back part detached 5.5 kg.
The 22 kg weight refers to the complete object with its base, not to the sculptural body alone.
