Marble sculpture.
In her sculpture Steady State, the artist gives her contribution in the fragile balance between expansion of knowledge and predefined concepts. At the basis of her reflection, there is the physics concept of a steady state: the steady state indicates a condition of dynamic equilibrium, and it tends to maintain its behavior over time. The sculpture comes with the shape of a geoid, which is the surface of an equal gravitational potential, defined by the gravitational field. Being aware that the exact calculation of the geoid based on satellite measures contrasts with the random distribution of the well-known contours of the continents, the artist has well conveyed these concepts in her sculpture: on one hand, the rock-like base represents the certainty and steadiness of the geoid. On the other hand, the decoration disposed on the solid base seems more casual and freer of movement, representing the random distribution of the continents.
