1. “Silence” by Serge Mozhnevsky demonstrates symmetrical balance. Although the two sides are reversed, they are identical, thus giving the sculpture a sense of balance.

The use of scale (making the statue so tall) drawers the viewer in. If the statue were smaller I don’t think it would have the same feeling or be as interesting. Making the sculpture as tall as it is, also makes the sculpture look more realistic (comparable to a real
