This series is a visual investigation of awakening from below: overlooked gestures and textures accumulate in fissures, ambiguity, and time. It is not a declaration of power, but an unfolding of force long hidden—pulsing quietly yet undeniably alive.

Over nine months, this series began from subtle gestures—sweeping, arranging, the needle’s delicate intervention—and gradually entered the textures between natural matter and abstraction: branches, grass, moss, water surfaces, trunks. It investigates how force germinates in low states—those overlooked, obscured, yet quietly thriving within crevices, ambiguity, and accumulation.

I am drawn to the reflection behind detail: for me, still life becomes kinetic stillness—seeming stillness harboring rhythm, restraint that holds tension, softness that conceals strength. It is a resilience, a delight in invisible dynamics, where force quietly materializes through shadow, fissure, and time.

This body of work is not about asserting dominance, but about inviting perception: even in the faintest corners, force pulses quietly. Power does not always manifest in the obvious; it often lies latent in darkness, in slowness, in hidden cracks. Low states are not weakness, but the deepest form of contest. Female experience is often placed in these crevices—constrained, overlooked—but there, the most complex and resilient energies are born.
