Equipoise: The Balance of Forces
Artist Statement

Equipoise is a nine-scene animation exploring the balance between nature and technology. Two figures, one rooted in nature and the other a humanoid machine, awaken simultaneously, symbolizing their interconnectedness. Created using Blender 3D, Substance Painter, and Final Cut Pro, the work blends organic and synthetic textures to reflect harmony through contrast. The accompanying logo visually unites the two figures, representing their connection as one force in balance.
