Balance

I suppose it's a direct consequence of gravity. In Art and Visual Perception, Rudol Areim talks about the need of the human eye to find balance in the images it sees. Don't we seek that balance in everything we do in life? In our lives, we seek (or should) surround ourselves with things that give us that feeling of balance, but things are constantly happening that break that balance and lead us to try to solve them to get it again. When there is a moment in which we enjoy that balance, we have a very gratifying sense of peace, but if that feeling lasts long enough, an imbalance is generated in the form of hunger, boredom or anything that breaks that balance and makes us look for it again.

Thus, we are to a certain extent slaves to seeking that balance, which is as difficult as it is brief.

When communicating, we can play at breaking or giving that balance.

When we're told a story, it's usually based on breaking that balance, and then restoring it.

It's possible that our image is going to need that balance between its shapes, but the information we control may also be playing a different game of balances on the image.
