Balance of Emotions


  The cube is made up of sixty-four batons of African Walnut. Every eight batons make up a square on each side of which is painted a self-portrait showing one of twenty different emotions. The pieces of wood can be pushed or pulled in and out by the viewer.

Everyone is searching for peace of mind but rarely does one enjoy a perfect balance of emotions for any length of time. Therefore the cube representative of the mind, is in constant flux. As emotions change, the batons are moving out of a perfect cube shape. Any positive emotion might have some share of a negative one and vice versa. Though only the six main emotions are visible on the surface of the cube, another fourteen are hidden inside and are being invisibly triggered by the change.
