In an increasingly polarized world, where individualism continues to expand and attention gravitates toward division rather than connection, BeKi emerges as both reflection and proposition.
With this sculpture, Hanne Arends distills a message that is disarmingly simple, yet persistently overlooked: Be Kind.
The figure is composed entirely of rounded, continuous forms. Its mirror-polished surface resists the possibility of an isolated reflection; wherever one looks, the self appears inseparable from its surroundings. In this way, the work subtly reorients perception from the individual toward the collective, from “me” toward “we.”
BeKi operates as both object and encounter. It invites awareness without imposition, offering a quiet yet insistent reminder: that the way we relate to one another shapes the reality we inhabit, and that transformation begins not in grand gestures, but in the smallest acts of everyday life.
