IN BALANCE | GROUP EXHIBITION

'In Balance' focuses on the theme of gravity & drift, reflecting on the ongoing search for balance between stability and change. Through a visual dialogue between tension and weightlessness, the exhibition asks what anchors us, what propels us forward, and what ultimately sets us free—physically as well as metaphorically.

Gravity here becomes a metaphor for pressure, belonging, responsibility, and limitation, while drift suggests motion, ease, freedom, and uncertainty. Their interplay mirrors human existence itself: we constantly negotiate between what ties us down and what pulls us away.

The works featured in this exhibition, reflect this on-going interaction through various mediums: painting, photography, sculptures, mixed media as well as through a three-dimensional suspension art installation.

Simcha Even-Chen’s ceramic sculptures embody a dialogue between rhythm and flow, control and chance. Her process welcomes unexpected forms, allowing shapes to emerge that cannot be pre-planned, capturing the tension between the deliberate and the accidental.

A different kind of flow appears in Evgeny Merman’s abstract expressionist oil paintings. Translating the ups, downs, and rebounds of lived experience into near-geometric compositions, his canvases chart emotional journeys as if they were visual graphs.

Suspended within the gallery, Bianca Severijns’ paper installation Co-Existence creates an atmosphere of weightlessness. Its two-sided construction recalls the fragile ecological balance between renewal and extinction, reminding us of the thin line that separates survival from loss.

Echoing this concern for harmony with the natural world, Chinese photographer Ziquian Liu turns the lens inward with poetic self-portraits. Her works explore the possibility of peaceful coexistence between humans and nature, presenting balance as both intimate and universal.

In Osher Partovi’s photographs of dancers in movement, the lens captures fleeting instants where gravity, stability, and fluidity converge, uniting the body’s weight with its suspension in space.

A sense of layered temporality is further developed in the paintings of Yam Amrani and Mally Elbaz-Almandine. Amrani’s works unfold in flowing strata of images and meanings, while Elbaz-Almandine composes dense constellations of life fragments—like unfiltered data or scattered life moments—woven together into unfolding sequences.

The coexistence of fragility and strength is central to Yael Salomon’s mixed-media works, where delicate materials such as porcelain also carry an unexpected resilience. Her practice reveals how vulnerability and force can sustain each other in equilibrium.

Jessica Moritz takes balance into the conceptual realm. Her paintings investigate invisible thresholds between inside and outside, between order and chaos, plenitude and emptiness. Circles, recurring motifs in her work, evoke both unity and completion, while also hinting at the instability of perception, where illusion begins.

Tally Shininger and Micki Goldstein both draw on the spirit of Japanese aesthetics, which finds beauty in fragility and restraint. Shininger engages with the art of Kintsugi—the practice of repairing broken pottery with gold—as a symbol of healing and the beauty inherent in imperfection. Goldstein translates this sensibility into color and form, using ink and watercolor on paper with a delicacy that highlights both presence and absence.

Together, these works form a visual meditation on connection and separation.

The exhibition invites viewers to experience the push-and-pull of bodies, emotions, events, and actions, and to reflect on the subtle negotiations that shape both our inner lives and our shared world.
