“…In the exhibition ‘Finding Balance’, Captain Stavros places objects as compasses - hints that one after the other guide to the unfolding of a mystery. Animal bones await osteomancers to read them, much like at a feast before a big battle, in an attempt to foresee its outcome. He created the stage for the visualization of that shifting moment from someone's child point of view to their adult point of view.”
