Balance

Can we have our cake and eat it?

“BALANCE SPLITS THE DINING TABLE IN HALF, ITS GLAMOROUS ONYX TABLETOP BREAKING UNDER THE WEIGHT OF ABUNDANCE. INSPIRED BY OLD MASTER STILL LIFE PAINTING AND ART DECO DESIGN, AN EXCESS OF LUXURIOUS CAKES AND PASTRIES SPILLS ACROSS THE TABLE AND ONTO THE FLOOR, WHERE THEY ARE DISCARDED.

THE MARBLE TABLE BASES BECOME CONTAINERS OF WASTE, WHILE THE BROKEN TABLETOP BECOMES A PHYSICAL DIVIDE BETWEEN THOSE WHO HAVE AND THOSE WHO DO NOT. MADE TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER, IT INSTEAD SEPARATES WEALTH FROM POVERTY – OVERLOADED BY GLUTTONY AND GREED.”
