Counterbalance artwork closely relates to the theme ‘Of Catharsis and Healing’ as signifies the creation of the equilibrium or balance between two objects or identities. Often, people and things are classified or secluded based on their preconceived notions or biases. 

The artworks in the series reflect the same concept. The holistic view that comes with the balance of Yin and Yang, where the balance of the world is maintained by these two sets of energies. 

Both two elements are inseparable; they complement each other. The artworks in the counterbalance series indicate a balance between the odds we encounter in each day of our lives, and how touch colors bring happiness in our lives. The colors are symbolic not only of our cherished memories but also of nature, with the numerous colors in its palette that bring healing to our lives. It’s the catharsis of what we perceive and what is hidden beneath.
