AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Broken Stairs of Being explores the fragility of existence and the human impulse to ascend, even when the path itself is collapsing. Here, ascent ceases to be a certainty and becomes a question: are we truly moving forward, or do we simply believe we are? Within rupture, another form of being emerges.
This unique sculpture continues the evolution of previous works while maintaining its own distinct identity. The composition has been enriched with additional elements and a renewed structural arrangement that creates a different sensation of movement, balance, and dynamism.
Compared to earlier works, it introduces variations in scale and in the positioning of its components, subtly transforming the overall structure. Each piece is unique and represents an evolution within the same artistic language.
This sculpture marks a new direction in my artistic practice, where brutalist aesthetics meet the expressive energy of Pop Art. Although rooted in the honesty of materials and the strength of Brutalism, the work introduces a new layer of contemporary visual language: bold, provocative, and emotionally charged.
Dimensions: 49 × 19 × 16 cm
Material: Iron
Finish: Orange
Information about the artist
Self-taught artist developing an independent artistic practice.
My work focuses on the creation of unique pieces situated between sculpture and functional object, combining materiality, structure, and durability. I create sculptural furniture and sculptures in iron and concrete with a strong brutalist influence, exploring geometry, repetition, balance, and visual presence within space.
Packaging and shipping

Respect for the artist’s work and for the platform helps maintain a fair and meaningful experience for both buyers and sellers.
Certificate of authenticity
The sculpture will be shipped together with its corresponding certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
Seller's Story
Wallavibe – D.B is an independent sculptural workshop where brutalism, geometry, and industrial memory are transformed into contemporary functional art.
I grew up in an environment where concrete walls were thicker than words, and objects were created not for beauty, but for durability. The images of my childhood — grey housing blocks, massive furniture, rough surfaces, iron, wood, and concrete — left a deep mark on the way I think and create. It was a world where form always followed function, and aesthetics emerged from necessity rather than excess.
These memories and experiences became the foundation of my work. The brutalist tables and sculptures I create today are both a direct response to that past and a dialogue with the present. I am inspired by monumentality, weight, exposed structure, and honest materials. I do not try to hide or soften them; instead, I allow them to speak for themselves.
My works are an act of resistance against fast consumption. They are not created for temporary trends or seasonal tastes, but for permanence. These are objects that demand presence, time, and a relationship with the person who lives with them. They are made not to be replaced, but to remain — to age together with the space and the individual.
Each piece exists at the boundary between furniture and sculpture, between function and silence. They are solid objects — sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes provocative — inviting the viewer to pause and feel the weight, texture, and history of the material.
My work explores the relationship between memory, matter, and permanence in an increasingly accelerated world.
