Lisette Margini – Australia

Description

A balance of black and white, shows equilibrium of light and dark. The joining of the colours on the base then flows through to the flowers which show a balance of black and white as they oppose the tones beneath. The wired flowers and feathers balance each other on opposing points. The deliberate effort to not use symmetry alone allows for a more gentle sense of balance which I believe is true equilibrium.
