Delicate Balance_Part 1

Delicate Balance explores the fragile relationship between humans and nature through a dialogue between organic forms and scientific precision. The series features tulips suspended in delicate, elongated glass vessels—objects I crafted by hand, transforming test tubes into unconventional vases.

At its core, this work reflects on the idea of balance, drawing parallels between natural ecosystems and the human experience. Each arrangement teeters on the edge of stability, illustrating how even the slightest disruption can send a finely tuned system into collapse. This is not just a metaphor; in every complex system, change is mathematically more likely to be harmful than beneficial.

The tension between fragility and resilience runs through the entire series. The tulips, beautiful yet fleeting, echo the transient nature of life, while the glass vessels suggest science’s role in shaping our understanding of transformation. This interplay invites viewers to reflect on our precarious position within larger systems—both natural and human-made—and the unsettling consequences of disturbance.
