Unstable Balance

"Unstable Balance" is a meditation on the forces that govern our lives. On this canvas, Britodelves into the
intricate interplay between the hidden forces that shape our existence, concealing from view whatever is
driving down the left side of the scale. Brito creates an unsettled mental space with a visual incongruence,
depicting the scale in unreconcilable physical planes – an impossible space. This optical illusion invites
viewers to contemplate the ongoing battle between reason and the manipulatingpowers that often mediate
our perceptions of the world.
Brito’ssimple and thought-provoking spectacle isanalogous tothe ongoing struggle to maintain equilibrium
in an ever-changing world. “Unstable Balance” mirrors the instability of human existence, challenging
viewers to question the balance of power, the power of intellect, and the sustainability of our resources –
those invisible and politically bathed forces with which our lives are enmeshed.
