There are moments when we no longer have the strength to hold the world as it is.
When we stop trying to understand, to anticipate, to move forward.
We stay.
Present.
Listening to what still pulses within.
In this work, everything unfolds in fragments.
In what surfaces.
In what gently trembles beneath the skin.
The material carries what words can no longer hold:
the fatigue, the restraint, the excess we keep inside just to keep going.
Textures layer themselves like poorly sorted emotions.
Some are soft, others heavier.
They tell of a suspended state, between the need to withdraw
and the instinctive pull to remain connected to life.
Here, there is no projection, no momentum.
Only inhabiting what is.
Breathing through what still hurts.
Letting the body feel when the mind no longer has the energy.
When we no longer have the strength to look straight ahead,
we feel differently.
And sometimes, simply, honestly, feeling
is already a form of courage.
