This piece explores the tension between stagnation and momentum, using the idea of taking the next step alongside the equally necessary impulse to simply rest. The layered, fragmented composition reflects an unsettled state between movement and stillness, where remaining frozen can feel as compelling as moving forward. In this space of uncertainty, rest becomes both refuge and resistance, revealing the beauty and friction of stepping into the unknown. Rather than resolving this contradiction, the work holds it open, suggesting that stillness and movement are not opposites but overlapping states.
