Fall
"Soft landing. Hard landing. Still landing."
Green Light
You Got It Again
Sweet on the surface, heavy underneath.
Fall captures the push and pull of temptation.
Using a candy as both lure and symbol, the work reflects on moments where comfort seduces, only to leave us aching for more.
Through an orange palette and shifting proximity, the pieces move between desire and consequence—reminding us how easily we trade long-term healing for short-term relief.
What do we reach for when we’re craving more than food? And when it costs us peace, is it still worth it?

Fall traces the cycle of temptation and relapse through five tightly sequenced images. At first glance, the glowing amber palette suggests warmth or comfort—but each suspended sweet hints at something heavier: a habit, a craving, a compromise.
In You Got It, the sweet appears firm and present, gripped tightly—habit in hand. Letting Go introduces motion, but not release—there’s tension in the lift. Release floats in clarity, like freedom has arrived, but it’s temporary. Green Light introduces a jolt—an interruption, a spark, a trigger. And You Got It Again—darker, more obscured—returns us to the grip, but this time with shame tucked inside.
The sequence moves like memory: the rush of comfort, the promise of control, the slow slide back. These aren’t just moments—they're patterns, familiar to anyone who's tried to break free from something they once chose. The series doesn't judge—it witnesses.
Fall is not just about giving in. It’s about the spiritual, physical, and emotional cost of coping in ways that betray the body and soul. What starts as comfort can become captivity.

Temptation doesn’t always come loud. Sometimes it whispers with sweetness—familiar, comforting, easy to reach. But what feels like relief often leaves a residue: shame, regret, exhaustion.
God understands the weight of that cycle. He doesn’t dismiss the struggle—He enters it. Scripture reminds us that even when we fall, we’re never without a way out. His grace isn’t just for those who’ve overcome—it’s for those still in the fight.
“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful… he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” — 1 Corinthians 10:13
“Each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.” — James 1:14
“Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.” — Hebrews 2:18
Even when we return to the same thing we swore we’d leave, God doesn’t turn away. He offers strength, not just to walk away, but to stay free. We don’t have to break the cycle alone. We weren’t meant to.
