Choices, 2025

Choices by KAI: A Sculpture About Good and Evil

Choices (2025) is a bronze and synthetic crystal sculpture by KAI. It depicts IF, the artist’s recurring Imaginary Friend character, absorbed in thought. Beside the figure, the shadow makes the subject of that reflection visible: the choice between good and evil.

The scene captures a moment before action, when different impulses remain possible. IF’s thoughtful posture creates an immediate point of recognition. The shadow then draws the viewer into the more private question of which path the character will choose.

When the Shadow Reveals the Story

In Choices, the shadow is an integral part of the sculptural composition. It gives form to an inner debate, connecting the character’s outward stillness with the moral tension of a decision. Bronze and synthetic crystal bring these two levels of the story into the same work.

This interplay invites a second look. The figure introduces the act of thinking; the shadow reveals what is at stake. Through this simple visual relationship, KAI turns a familiar moment of hesitation into a reflection on personal responsibility and the values that guide our actions.

Double Take at Art Miami 2025

Choices was included in Double Take, KAI’s solo presentation with Markowicz Fine Art at Art Miami 2025. Across the exhibition, figures and their shadows carried connected layers of meaning. An initial scene opened onto a further emotional or symbolic reading, encouraging viewers to return to the work and reconsider what they first saw.

Within this body of work, Choices focuses that approach on a moral dilemma. The thinking figure and its shadow hold the possibilities together, leaving the outcome unresolved and inviting each viewer to reflect on their own decisions.

The sculpture was produced in an edition of eight plus four artist’s proofs. For current availability and further details about Choices by KAI, please contact Markowicz Fine Art.
