This sculpture focuses on the self. Being a well balanced individual takes a lifetime of learning and practice, much like the skill of a gymnast, which was the inspiration behind these pieces.  Gymnasts work for many hours to perfect themselves and when they work in teams each must do their part in order for the routine (life) to come together as a whole. Likewise gymnasts have tremendous balance capabilities, and balance is what help us make it through our tight-rope walk of life.
