Vertical is the state I build in— a place for unfinished thoughts, sharpened ideas, and the things that refuse silence.

I chase the things that change direction without warning. A line bends. A thought splits. A shape becomes something it wasn’t meant to be. I stay with it until it reveals a reason to follow.
The rabbit is never still.

Modus vivendi
A delicate balance of stillness and movement, presence and absence. It captures bodies in transformation, suspended in quiet resistance.

A study in rhythm, distortion, and controlled imbalance. Surfaces react to movement. Movement reshapes the frame. The piece shifts between clarity and noise, revealing patterns you only see when they break.
