STEP — Movement as Structure
Developed through repetition, rhythm, and directional movement, STEP functions as a series of abstract maps of physical navigation. Each composition originates from the idea of a step — not simply as motion, but as decision, momentum, interruption, and spatial awareness.
Rather than depicting the body directly, the works record its invisible mechanics. Angular pathways, rotating forms, and intersecting trajectories behave like fragments of movement captured in transition. The compositions suggest acceleration, hesitation, balance, collision, and flow, transforming the ordinary act of walking into a dynamic visual language.
Created through hand-carved linocut processes, STEP combines the precision of graphic construction with the unpredictability of physical mark-making. Repeated lines, pressure variations, and layered geometric systems create works that oscillate between control and improvisation.
The series draws connections between the human body and the structures that shape contemporary movement: urban grids, transport systems, machine rhythms, digital interfaces, and architectural space. Each print becomes both a pathway and a psychological diagram — a record of how movement constructs perception.
In STEP, walking becomes more than locomotion.
It becomes composition.
