Carlos Bevilacqua's work stands at the constant tension between instability and balance; in the semantic gap he defines as "poetic instant". He employs materials such as wood and steel in their utmost synthetic forms - the line, the dot, the circle, and the sphere - to then test their physical limits to the moment these tensions reach their point of balance.
