Balance

A seemingly impossible balance, high above a pit in Halle, Belgium. Created only using material found on the location.

In this Nature Art event only the use of material found on the location (plus tools) was allowed. I used six branches, made heavier on ne side, to create six elements, balanced  them on each other and on a bended pole high above the pit. The first version collapsed, the second version ditn't work, the third one was a great succes. A seemingly very instable construction, moving in the wind, high above the visitors.

We are playing a dangerous game with the Earth, the balance of Earth and with Nature. I also played a game but it was a joyfull one. It might have been possible that I went beyond the tipping point, and the vistiors would have been looking at the remains of what once was. But I succeeded, I made the seemingly impossible possible!
