A large sheet of handmade paper bearing an enlarged balance scale emoji floats freely in space, suspended by a system of latex, spreader bars, nipple clamps, and needles. Beyond its association with justice, the balance has historically served to weigh gold, sugar, and bodies against one another, allowing them to circulate as comparable values along colonial trade routes.

A three-millimeter-thin layer of polished plaster, applied directly to the wall four meters behind the paper, references the plinth as an institutional device. Detached from the sculpture, it refers less to physical support than to the architectural and institutional conditions of its display.

The installation appears perfectly balanced. Yet its equilibrium is not a state of rest but the result of continuously organized tension. Stability emerges not as something natural, but as a condition that must be constantly produced.
