Tension as Structure

Eva Hesse — Rope and Latex Works

Opposing forces stabilize form.

Release is withheld.

Structure persists.

How does balance persist?
Opposition often collapses into resolution, yet balance holds. Forces stabilize without release. What continues is structure maintained through strain.
