Floating State

Ink on canvas · 160 × 300 cm · 2025

Three metres of ink, worked on the ground and later raised, not one gesture but many held across the surface like a held breath. This was not painted with a brush but danced with a broom, its wide sweep leading, my body following, until the effort dropped away and what remained was flight. Floating is not where the hand drifts. It is where the body, after enough practice and listening, finally stops forcing and begins to move.
