AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Balance #13/80
Sonny Insinna
With Balance #13/80, Sonny Insinna continues his research dedicated to the theme of balance, transforming the figure of the rhinoceros into a powerful metaphor for the precarity of our time.
The rhinoceros, a symbol of strength, resilience, and primordial power, is depicted in a seemingly impossible condition: its massive weight is supported by a small sphere, which itself balances on a charred wooden base.
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 rhinoceros, despite its imposing presence, is compelled to continually seek a point of stability.
The sphere represents the world we inhabit: a fragile reality, marked by fractures and tensions. The 24-karat gold leaf applications 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 charred wooden base introduces another symbolic element. It is the earth transformed by human intervention, a material that bears on its surface the mark of destruction yet continues, despite everything, to support life.
In Balance #13/80 the animal is not simply represented: it becomes a message. As in Sonny Insinna’s exploration, animals are often used as protagonists of a symbolic language through which the artist speaks about humans, nature, and the increasingly fragile relationship between the two.
The rhinoceros therefore seems to be in a suspended moment, between the possibility of falling and the possibility of regaining its balance.
A metaphor of our condition: we are all balancing on something fragile, and the responsibility not to let it collapse belongs to all of us.
