Balancing Rocks by Bywell Sango, Cobalt Stone, Unique, 185cm high by 170cm wide by 50cm deep, Nature sculpture, Brown, Light Green, Balancing, Rock
This piece by Bywell Sango is a captivating Shona sculpture carved from rich cobalt stone. This unique piece stands 185cm tall, stretches 170cm wide, and reaches 50cm deep. At first glance, its form recalls the natural wonder of Zimbabwe’s iconic balancing rock formations. Yet Sango’s version transforms this natural sight into an elegant, abstract sequence.
The sculpture’s stones flow in a circular arrangement. Each carved “rock” leans on the next, forming a loop that feels both strong and fragile. The cobalt stone’s deep, layered colours bring out veins of blue-grey and subtle green streaks. These natural markings add texture and depth, echoing the rugged beauty of real boulders shaped by centuries of weather and time.
From every angle, Balancing Rocks plays with balance and gravity. Some stones tilt outward while others tuck inward, giving the circle a gentle sense of motion. Light and shadow slip across each surface, changing the sculpture’s mood throughout the day.
Sango’s work often celebrates nature’s silent wisdom. Here, he captures harmony and resilience in stone. The circle hints at cycles, of time, life, and community, where each piece depends on the others to stand tall. As viewers move around it, they feel this quiet message: true balance comes not from stillness, but from connection.
This sculpture invites us to pause and reflect. It reminds us that, like these rocks, we find strength when we lean on each other.
