This sculpture captures a paradox at the heart of lived experience: balance is rarely a perfect still point - it is most often found within motion, adjustment, and asymmetry.
The elongated arc rises in a sweeping curve, almost like a flame stretching upward, yet the form remains anchored by the rounded sphere cupped within the lower opening. The eye immediately senses tension, but also resolution: two opposing forces negotiating a moment of harmony.
The sphere appears weighty and self-contained, a symbol of the grounded self or the core commitments that steady us. Around it, the marble form curves, shifts, and leans, suggesting the unpredictable turns of circumstance.
The contrast in surface textures deepens this idea. The subtly roughened sphere has a density, while the polished outer planes flow with gentle lightness. One embodies solidity, the other adaptability. Together, they create a dynamic equilibrium: a balance achieved not by resisting imbalance, but by working with it.
Viewed from different angles, the sculpture seems to tilt more dramatically or settle more securely, reflecting how balance is always a matter of perspective. What looks precarious from one viewpoint can appear steady from another.
“Stability in Imbalance” invites contemplation on how resilience is formed- not through rigid stillness, but through continuous, conscious alignment with shifting realities. It is a reminder that steadiness is an art, shaped moment by moment.
