Absolute Equilibrium cannot possibly be achieved. And nevertheless most of us make a daily attempt to correct the tilt of a skewed world: from seeking balance in interhuman relationships, through the steadying of our own mental composure, seeking a sustainable way of life on Earth, striving for justice, to the perhaps banal matter of a balanced diet.
Equilibrium in essence is always fragile, just like our planet or the inner human being. It is this condition that Sara expresses in her unembellished monochromatic paintings. She constructs situations that are played out in unidenfiable micro, or alternatively macro, worlds.
Organic shapes reminiscent of hoses, arteries, roots or cables, play the principal roles. They entwine together, sometimes held by a thin string, at other times pouring out freely. They are smooth, or they have the form of sloughed-off snakeskin. We see only a cutout and most of the time we do not know where it begins or ends.
Most probably it is only a small part of a larger system. Possibly infinite. Sarah is thus moving in a broad space between deep past and dystopian future, linking eternity with the present.
While the paintings at first glance may give the impression of being purely a play of form, concern with the current problems of our civilisation is there in the background.
