“Domestic Balances” is a game of precision and patience, a form of meditation. The goal is to build dynamic balance systems with ordinary objects: the result is a collection of ephemeral kinetic sculptures with hypnotic movements. The objects, extracted from their context and stripped of any utility, become dancing shapes and colors that recall a familiar landscape, but at the same time suggest a new, delicate, and intimate one. “Domestic Balances” is a metaphorical exercise about the search for inner balance and tells the urgency of a poetic perspective on everyday life.
