Why does a sculpture need balance? We’re standing before the Cantilever Sculpture, and you might think, “Well, it’s art; it doesn’t have to make sense!” But look closer. This sculpture by Inge King, a giant infinity symbol reaching out over Collins Street, is all about balance. The Cantilever Sculpture isn’t just a shiny landmark. It embodies a concept Jose Dávila, another artist featured here at 101 Collins, explores: the balance of forces, the distribution of weight, the confrontation with gravity. Just like Dávila’s works use simple forms like spheres and cubes to illustrate these ideas, King’s Cantilever uses the infinity symbol. It’s a reminder that even in the hustle of a city, even in the seemingly infinite loop of our modern lives, balance is something we strive for, consciously or unconsciously.
