<noinclude>Marina is the scale used as the metaphoric tool to represent the multi-faceted tension between different projects, ideas, feelings, approaches in my life for [[User:Tommi/T2 Assessment|their second term assessment]].</noinclude>

As I kept thinking on a way to best present my reflections over the first two trimester of XPUB, I was looking for a device to represent a constant, precarious, dynamic equilibrium, or better '''juggling''' with many different thoughts crowding my head. I started looking for '''an old-style scale''', also in honor of [https://instagram.com/nonnagorix my grandma]’s passion for antiques.

I started telling this to all my classmates. Eventually, during a walk in a quiet Saturday afternoon, [[User:LEa|Lea]] brought me to <cite>[https://demajum.format.com/12397500-about De Majum]</cite> an adorable thrift shop in Delfshaven. Not five minutes since I was inside the shop I found what I was looking for.

I called Nonna Gorix and, after sending her this picture, I asked her what would be the maximum price she would put on it. She told me that I should not pay more than 20€, and that I could negotiate the price down to 15€. Eventually, I managed to buy it for 10€, especially because it did not have any plates. Victory!

I cleaned it and I added some pieces of wood at the bottom, to calibrate it, as it was totally off-balance.

The only step left was to find a name for it. I named it <q>Marina</q> as my godmother and former scout chief, as historically she has been my reference point for ponderating decisions and finding the right equilibrium, both spiritually or not.
