In Balanced, a series of hollow ceramic rings teeter upward in an improbable, gravity-defying column. Each form leans into the next, creating a visual rhythm of tension, fragility, and trust. The textured surface, washed in deep green and weathered with white oxides, evokes the feeling of something unearthed — aged, resilient, and marked by time.

The work speaks to the delicate act of holding oneself together through instability. Despite the precarious stacking, there’s a quiet strength in the composition — a sense that balance is not perfection, but persistence. Every ring carries weight, yet none collapse under pressure.

This sculpture is both a structural exploration and a metaphor for emotional equilibrium. It embodies the often invisible effort required to maintain inner stillness amidst external chaos, inviting viewers to consider what it means to stay upright, whole, and human.
