Balance

The human brain is divided into two distinct hemispheres:

The right side, fluid and creative; the left side, structured and pragmatic.
Where one sees landscapes, the other perceives physics;
Where one embraces art, the other upholds law.
The right is spontaneous and intuitive; the left, logical and analytical.
Feelings reside in one, reason in the other.

In this piece, the left brain is symbolized by a thick, raw engine—solid and mechanical; while the right brain is embodied by a natural, living ivy—organic and fluid.

Both sides are interconnected, essential to the whole. The mind is a delicate balance that nourishes the soul. When one hemisphere falters, the other follows.

As the ivy is torn, the engine collapses, reminding us that in our constant search for balance, the harmony of opposites is crucial.

The aim of this project was to create a meaningful composition from three indispensable elements, each vital for the object's existence. The initial concept was to develop an art installation guided by the same principles we adhere to in product design: every element must be essential and justified, leaving no space for unnecessary details or superfluous aesthetics.

The engine was dismantled and reassembled using ivy leaves in place of its original screws, merging the organic with the mechanical to emphasize the interconnectedness and balance between the elements.
