BREATH

This piece uses a two-headed bird performing a manual at a skatepark as a quiet metaphor for learning, awareness, and balance. By borrowing movement and efficiency from nature, the work suggests that mastery doesn’t always come from over-engineering progress, but from observation, intuition, and adaptation.

The dual heads reflect constant awareness—forward and backward, regular and switch—mirroring the way skateboarding (and life) demands presence in multiple directions at once. There is knowledge everywhere: physics, strength, instinct, survival. But too much focus on systems and optimization can pull us away from what actually keeps us upright.

At its core, the piece reminds us that beneath all technique, theory, and vigilance, there is something simpler and more essential: staying light on your feet, staying aware, and remembering to breathe.
