About the artwork:
Equilibrium 1, is a powerful visual meditation on the concept of duality and the balance found within opposing forces. This message is primarily conveyed through the choice of subject and material.
The central figure is a zebra, a natural symbol of duality, embodying the fundamental contrast between light and shadow, positive and negative. The monochromatic linework is set against a luminous background of gold leaf, which is delicately etched with subtle designs. The brilliant gold actively participates in the duality, serving as a representation of the Sun, symbolizing light, vitality, and the divine. The stark visual dialogue between the dark, detailed drawing and the bright, reflective gold emphasizes the core theme, the equilibrium between the contrasting elements that constitute existence.
