Description
In “A Delicate Balance,” the woman experiences her lover’s firm embrace as he gently encircles her with his strong arms, symbolizing protective affection. His large arms convey the depth of his feelings and his desire to envelop her with love. Because she loves him, she comprehends his intentions and doesn’t feel confined or restrained – instead, she feels safe in his embrace.
Her small hand, holding the delicate blue rose, reaches out from his firm grasp. Though he loves her deeply, he will always let her go if she desires. The rose symbolizes the freedom of her spirit—the love, life, and hope that define her essence. There will always be room for them to grow individually, apart from their union.
Yuroz’s “A Delicate Balance” examines the nature of romantic love and how it simultaneously defines two people individually, providing security while uniting them as kindred souls almost indistinguishable from one another.
