Roland Berger

In Rooted Flow, Roland Berger works with a found piece of driftwood, accentuating its organic form. The sculpture appears like a stream paused in motion – a current rising from deep within and pushing outward.

The wood grain flows across the surface like rippling lines, guiding the viewer’s gaze along the form. Its dark patina intensifies the sense of grounding and time, while the sweeping curve lends the piece a quiet, almost dancing presence.

The work explores contrasts: stillness and movement, rootedness and lightness. There is an almost mythical aura—as if this fragment of wood carries a silent, ancient energy.

Rather than altering the material, Berger shifts our attention to what is already present. The sculpture becomes a tribute to nature’s own power: raw, weathered, and full of grace.
