The process of finding a balance in relations accompanies certain tensions. An interaction between subjects transforms the subjects and the form of relation. It is a sculptural capture of this moment of transformation.
Inspired by the forms of a body while doing yoga which is both a physical and mental activity, I rendered an ensemble of the external and the internal. I look for the possibility of appropriating the flexibility and the tension in the bodily actions to the way we interact with one another. The interaction of each action as a symbol of an everyday object that composes of our daily lives, endows the sculpture with motility.
