When the objects are not identical but balance has still occurred in the artwork we refer to the balance as approximate symmetry?

Approximate symmetry refers to a compositional balance in artwork where objects are not identical but are arranged in a way that creates a sense of harmony and equilibrium. This technique often involves variations in size, shape, or color, allowing for a dynamic yet balanced aesthetic. Artists use approximate symmetry to draw the viewer's eye while maintaining visual interest and stability in the composition. It is a way to achieve balance without the rigidity of perfect symmetry.
