Twists & Turns

Twists & Turns – Shona Sculpture by Peter Gwisa
For Sale ($8,400) | Hand-Sculpted in Springstone | Dimensions 58x16x10 inches

Shona Sculpture – Twists & Turns by Zimbabwean sculptor Peter Gwisa is a bold expression of life’s unpredictability. Hand-sculpted from durable Springstone, this piece stands tall at 58 inches and weaves a story through shape and movement.

The sculpture flows in a rhythmic spiral. Each curve and contour tells a story of challenge, change, and growth. Gwisa captures how paths in life rarely move in straight lines. Instead, they twist. They turn. And through those bends, they form something beautiful.

Rooted in the Shona sculpture tradition, this piece connects the physical with the emotional. The dynamic design suggests energy and resilience. The solid base grounds it, much like values or inner strength anchor us during moments of change.

Peter Gwisa is known for his ability to balance bold abstraction with deeper meaning. He draws from generations of Shona sculptors who shaped stone to mirror human experience.

This work speaks to anyone who has faced uncertainty and emerged stronger. It stands as a reminder that even when the way forward seems unclear, beauty can still arise.

Collectors of Zimbabwean sculpture will appreciate the craftsmanship, movement, and narrative in this exceptional piece. It makes a meaningful addition to homes, galleries, or cultural collections.
