Balance Within

As part of the Flight of Fancy series, this piece is of Anneke’s most recent exploration into the human emotion. She takes the human form and uses it to portray the inner-workings of the heart, creating a contra pose between internal and external. In magnification of day to day body language, Anneke twists and bends the human form to reconcile our emotion with our appearance. Balance within is a work that relates to that moment when we stop for a second, sometimes count to ten and just find ourselves in that moment. As the figure is precariously balanced on one leg, our inner-balance is often precariously balanced as well. For Anneke personally, this piece has been standing next to her bed, a reminder to start each day balanced. Edition of 11.
