"Precarious Balance" features a light, airy background with a striking center of deep purple and blue, capturing the essence of mid-century modern design. The composition is a dynamic dance of shapes in unusual sizes, each one precariously stacked and leaning on the next. At the heart of the piece, a large violet orb acts like a hinge, subtly holding the chaotic colors in place, adding a sense of control to the otherwise flailing forms. Two arms—one in gold, the other in black—provide a sense of balance and structure, guiding the viewer's eye through the piece. The overall effect is a perfect blend of playful tension and harmony, evoking the bold, experimental spirit of mid-century modern art.
