Breath

""Vacuum sealed vitality"

In With The Old

From Eden to engineering—how far have we taken the pursuit of knowledge and health?

Breath reimagines the apple, once a symbol of wisdom and vitality, now suspended—filtered, preserved, and losing its essence. What once nourished is now processed. The work explores how science refines the body, prolongs life, and standardizes wellness—while something elemental slips away.

The bubbles suggest more than preservation: they hint at a quiet exchange. 

Are we still sustained, or just breathing in an illusion?

  • Jammed is a visual halt. After cycles of survival and attempted resolution, the image reveals the inevitable breakdown—an impasse. The tangled IV tubing and flushed red tones evoke urgency and exhaustion, yet there’s no clear way forward. Here, hope meets friction.

    This piece is less about chaos and more about the moment just before surrender. The tension is not explosive—it’s tight, compressed, weary. And in that stillness, the question isn’t what to do next—but what’s left to trust when nothing seems to work?

  • The Israelites came to the Red Sea—trapped between a raging enemy and an impossible crossing. Jammed mirrors that moment. You’ve tried your way, exhausted every resource. This is where striving ends and in stillness begins.

    Scripture:

    “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
    —Exodus 14:14

    Reflection Question:
    When every effort fails, do I believe God is still working on my behalf—or do I reach again for control?
