The series "Balance" explores the intersection of natural and man-made materials, seeking to find harmony and cohesion between the two. By combining found wood from surrounding areas with colored pencils that have undergone several processes to achieve their perfect round shapes, the works create a dialogue between the organic undulations of the wood and the smooth, precise lines of the colored pencils.

​

The intention behind this combination is rooted in a questioning of the line between natural and synthetic, and a consideration of the ways in which these materials are sourced. Through this process, the works aim to challenge our perceptions of what is natural and what is not, while also highlighting the beauty and complexity of both.

​

As the works take shape, the process becomes a delicate balancing act, requiring a deep understanding of the materials and a willingness to let their inherent qualities guide the way. The resulting works are a testament to the power of balance and the potential for unity between seemingly disparate elements.

​

Through "Balance," the series invites viewers to contemplate the relationships between nature and technology, and to consider how we might find balance and harmony in our interactions with the world around us.
