The act of balancing

The female gymnast sparked Jai's imagination as a character that makes us marvel at the mind's and body's elasticity. She turns the impossible into possible and transforms into an unbelievable spectacle. Moved by the stunning feats of stretching, arching, and effortless control to transform into an endless ring in space, Jai painted her as an electrifying image, radiating energy and light. Jai's relentless articulation of her vision perhaps signifies his secret desire for conquest. Still, more than that, it brings him closer to the philosophical truth of life summed up in the very 'act of balancing.' Life is a precarious slope or a trapeze act where danger and fear are constant shadows, reminders of the problematic existential trap to evade.
