With Stele, Roland Berger creates a sculptural sign of almost surreal presence. The slender, upright form appears like a fragment—both archaic and otherworldly, as if it had slipped into our reality from a parallel one. Its surface is inscribed with rhythmic lines that recall geological strata, growth patterns, or encrypted markings.
Despite its quiet restraint, the sculpture carries a distinct tension. It is neither clearly figurative nor purely abstract, but seems to emerge from an inner, dreamlike state. This very ambiguity gives Stele its surreal lightness: an object that defies precise interpretation, yet stands firmly in space—like a silent trace of something lost or yet to come.
