The work initiates a profoundly evocative graphic journey, wherein the artist narrates her experience in therapeutic sessions provided to her patients, focusing on bodily alignments. Through meticulous observation of hundreds of bodies communicating through their posture, an unceasing quest is undertaken to achieve neutrality, equilibrium, and optimal functionality.
The experience of pain, tension, relief, and the discovery of a new, inherent yet unconscious physical spatiality intertwine in this visual narrative. Each recognition of alignment is directly imprinted in the footprint and the varying pressures exerted on the support. The footprint, as the point of weight discharge, offers profound insights into the individual’s physical and psychological dimensions.
Equilibrium, far from being static and permanent, is a constant state of balancing opposing forces that compensate and nullify each other to achieve stability. This reflection invites us to draw an analogy with the broader meaning of life, where the pursuit of balance becomes an essential metaphor.
