The Balance In Between #2

The Balance In Between explores the ongoing tension between opposing forces in life, and our attempts to bring them into harmony — where neither fully overpowers the other. It reflects a mindful, evolving process, one that shifts and develops.

Through a dialogue between geometric and organic forms, this work mirrors the mindful, evolving process of balancing life’s contradictions. Whilst these forces are fundamentally different, they can coexist in a state of equilibrium—a process that matures and shifts through the different stages of our lives.
​
Geometric and organic shapes represent these opposing forces. However, with self compassion, patience and mindfulness, it is possible for these forces to be placed in harmony.
