The inspiration for the weight design comes from the desert.

It all began after I watched Dune, an epic masterpiece. The film's architecture - both oppressive and awe-inspiring - together with its mysterious and retro atmosphere, left a powerful impression on me.

What captivated me most was the desert itself. In this vast expanse, every living being feels insignificantly small, evoking a sense of purity and solitude.

This seemingly time-forgotten desert - tranquil yet perilous - became the core inspiration for my design. The desert motif in the center of the weight was the first element I decided on. For the rest of the weight, I aimed to keep things understated, allowing the central theme to stand out.

Over the course of several months, I experimented with many different concepts, but none of them fully captured the feeling I wanted to express.

Until I came up with the spiral pattern - it felt like flowing sand, pulling everything around it inward.

I moved the circular element to the center of the weight, allowing the weight to extend across the entire surface, and added a sloped edge around it to create more depth and dimension.

Originally, the design was meant to end there. But then we realized that the circular shape in the middle could also represent the sun - because the desert isn't only about dangerous whirlpools, but also the scorching sunlight.

That gave me a new idea. In the end, shifting sands and sunlight, vortexes and rays, came together - revealed on the front and back of the weight.
