AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Balance #77
Sonny Insinna
With Balance #77, Sonny Insinna continues his search dedicated to the theme of balance, transforming the figure of the bison into a powerful metaphor for the precariousness of our time.
The bison, a symbol of strength, resilience and freedom, is depicted in an apparently impossible condition: its weight is supported by a small sphere, itself balanced on a base of charred wood.
The scene thus becomes a reflection on the fragility of balance. Even what appears strong and invincible can find itself in a precarious position. The bison, despite its imposing presence, is forced to continually seek a point of stability.
The sphere represents the world we inhabit: a fragile reality, marked by fractures and tensions. The applications in 24-carat gold leaf emphasize these fractures as if they were precious wounds: they do not hide fragility, but make it visible and, at the same time, affirm its value.
The base of charred wood introduces a further symbolic element. It is the earth transformed by human intervention, a material that bears on its surface the sign of destruction but that continues, despite everything, to sustain life.
In Balance #77 the animal is not simply represented: it becomes a message. As in Sonny Insinna’s search, animals are often used as protagonists of a symbolic language through which the artist speaks of humans, nature and the increasingly fragile relationship between the two.
The bison thus seems to be in a suspended moment, between the possibility of falling and that of regaining its balance.
A metaphor of our condition: we are all in balance on something fragile, and the responsibility not to let it collapse belongs to all of us.
