Motion Frozen
Motion Frozen was inspired by the idea of time pausing mid-movement — the fleeting moment where motion and memory blur into each other.
The piece captures a figure walking, but not quite present — as if caught between steps, between awareness and fading. This impression came from watching how people move in cities: fast, purposeful, but often emotionally absent. I wanted to stop that motion for a second and ask — what’s really there when we freeze?
The work was created with acrylic on canvas, using dry brush and layered textures to evoke a photographic, almost ghostlike impression. The monochrome palette intensifies the feeling of silence, introspection, and fragility. The brushwork is intentionally loose — I didn’t want to “finish” the figure, but let it dissolve at the edges, just like a memory that’s slipping away.
I hope viewers feel both tension and quiet — the sense that something is moving, but cannot go forward.
This painting is about holding a moment, and about the quiet emotional weight that lives inside a simple gesture.
