THE
FALL
-IN THE HUSH BETWEEN MOTION AND MOMENT-
Inspired by the lost chaos of movement, a moment of free fall is frozen in time and savoured for its uncanny composition.
A slice of time is a luxury in a modern world that demands speed over everything. Decisiveness is paramount for the demand of ever-increasing progress. But what if we were caught in limbo? Barely any time is devoted to this moment between moments. The beauty of poise is often lost.
The meditation is in the capture of our free fall, and the feelings that are invoked therein. Here time stands still and dreams flourish, because they hold the energy of the potentiality forever in our gaze.
Maybe we can choose a different course or maybe the course is chosen? But one thing is for sure there is beauty in the moment.

poised between the known and the becoming
She drifts —
not pulled, not placed,
but held in the hush
of a moment unclaimed.
No up, no down,
only the quiet grace
of gravity forgotten,
and the slow bloom of what-if.

a breath between the beats
Time loosened its grip for a moment,
and she drifted through
the folds of a question
never fully asked.
The world waits in the space she occupies,
where gravity is gentle,
and decision dissolves
into a dream shaped like becoming.
