IM/Balance explores the elusive nature of equilibrium. We live in dualities, constantly negotiating between stability and instability, certainty and uncertainty, control and surrender. The work traces the fine line between balance and disarray, revealing the quiet labour of finding ground as it slips in and out of reach. Responding to shifting internal and external forces, the body becomes both question and compass, continually seeking equilibrium in a world that never stands still.
