We’ve written about the Berd Vay’e sculptures in the past, because they are just so darn cool. Sure, the price tag puts them mostly out of reach for me, but a fellow can dream about having one on his desk, can’t he? While the prior ones have been a bit chaotic (see here), this latest version puts things into an organic form.
By that, I mean spheres. While the prior sculptures have required precise placement that looks like an explosion of parts, this new Galaxy requires (I imagine) even more precision yet. You’ve got the globes of watch gears set in there looking like a mini, self-contained universe, all within the Borg ship. Or so I imagine. These look awesome as they are – I can only hope they experiment with making those individual globes luminous (even different colors, how sweet would that be?) If you want to pick one up, a cool $7,500 is what you need to bring. berdvaye.com
