Inspired by Zimbabwe’s iconic balancing rocks, Balancing Act is a stunning Shona sculpture by Bywell Sango is a masterpiece of form and equilibrium.

Bywell Sango draws powerful inspiration from Zimbabwe’s iconic balancing rocks to sculpt this breathtaking Shona stone sculpture. He carves each form with precision, stacking stone upon stone in a way that defies logic—yet feels deeply grounded in nature. The result: a Shona sculpture that stuns with its balance, grace, and architectural brilliance.

Using green cobalt, one of the rarest and most durable stones available in Zimbabwe, Sango sculpts with confidence and clarity. This dense stone allows him to create a sense of lightness despite the mass it holds. He smooths every curve and polishes the surface until it glows, revealing the stone’s deep green hues and natural mineral variations.

This piece speaks of harmony in chaos, of resilience in a world that constantly shifts. It mirrors the balancing rocks found in Epworth and Matopos. Where natural formations stand strong through centuries of wind and rain. In this sculpture, he honors both Zimbabwe’s landscape and the strength of its people.

Place this sculpture in a modern entryway, a tranquil garden, or a curated gallery. It commands attention wherever it stands. It embodies both contemporary design and timeless tradition, offering collectors a rare chance to own a work that bridges cultural heritage and bold artistic vision.
