THE SEARCH FOR BALANCE
This piece reflects on balance not as a stable state, but as a continuous process. The suspended forms, held up by a tense and seemingly fragile structure, evoke the difficulty of maintaining harmony between opposing forces.
Without explicitly stating it, the work alludes to justice as an exercise in balance: not as an absolute truth, but as an imperfect practice, always exposed to imbalance. The piece does not offer a definitive answer; it proposes a space for contemplation on the necessity—and fragility—of seeking balance in a world in constant transformation.
