Core captures a moment of quiet proximity, a face in profile leaning toward a flowing form that might be air, water or breath. The wavelike carving turns the marble surface into movement, suggesting an exchange between body and element. Lines ripple outward from the figure's hair, merging human and natural patterns into one continuous rhythm. Westerberg's precision turns the stone into something both fragile and enduring. Each hand-carved example reveals subtle differences in veining and depth, while keeping the calm and intimacy that define the piece.

The conceptual focus of Core is the kernel where internal change consolidates: a site of compression, pressure and metamorphic potential. Transformation is conveyed through denser sculptural planes, concentrated openings and forms that imply motion held in suspension. Where Heart deals with openness, Core deals with formation, an internal engine rather than an emotional threshold.

Delivery: Stock changes often. Some examples are in stock in Copenhagen for immediate delivery; when an example is not in stock, the work is carved to order with a lead time of 8 to 10 weeks.

Sif Itona Westerberg

Sif Itona Westerberg is a Danish visual artist whose work spans sculpture, installation, and drawing, often exploring the blurred boundaries between mythology, technology, and the natural world. Born in 1985 and based in Copenhagen, Westerberg is known for her ability to merge ancient symbolism with contemporary materials—creating a body of work that feels both archaeological and futuristic.

At the heart of her practice lies an investigation into how we create meaning across time. Drawing from classical sculpture, digital aesthetics, and science fiction, she constructs complex, layered forms that often resemble artifacts unearthed from an imagined civilization. Her pieces may evoke fragments of bodies, vessels, or relics, yet they resist clear categorization—inhabiting a liminal space between past and future, human and machine.

Westerberg often works in cast materials such as concrete, resin, and metal, manipulating their surfaces with intricate patterns or embedded forms. These materials, typically associated with permanence or industrial utility, are transformed into delicate, even poetic expressions. Her visual language is tactile and enigmatic, inviting viewers to project their own narratives onto each work.

In recent years, Westerberg has exhibited widely across Scandinavia and Europe, earning critical recognition for her thoughtful material investigations and distinctive aesthetic. Her work reflects a growing interest in how technology and mythology intersect—and how these forces shape our understanding of identity, memory, and origin.

Through a practice that is both rigorous and intuitive, Sif Itona Westerberg offers a quietly radical take on sculpture in the 21st century.
