Forces that Create the Balance






A half mile from Frankfurt airport was this art installation.  A curious stacking of what, it doesn't matter.  I noticed first the uneven stacking of these cans, or tapes, or spools.  Then I noticed the colors, against the gray, more as it climbs up.  I'd expect that unevenness to make the installation topple, but I trusted at the same time that it wouldn't.  There are structural forces, no doubt creative as well, that secure it, and create the balance that an obsessive-compulsive would otherwise have difficulty creating.
