CUMPĂNĂ

Weights, threads and one square hanging still

A sparse black-on-white drawing: three filled discs of different sizes, thin crossing lines, a small black square hanging from a vertical thread, and two hair-fine rods

Black on white, and almost nothing on the sheet. Three filled discs of different sizes sit far apart. Thin lines cross without touching. A small black square hangs off a vertical thread, and a pair of hair-fine rods lean against nothing.

Everything in it is either a weight or a thing holding a weight. Nothing is moving, but nothing is resting either — take one disc away and the whole sheet would tip.

CUMPĂNĂ is the beam of a well, the thing a balance is made of. It also means the moment before something goes one way or the other.
