A still life that doesn’t stay still, holding tension like breath: calm against alert, memory against interruption. The diptych traces a fragile balance between the familiar — a well-known glass of milk rooted in childhood — and the instant everything shifts. The viewer stays in a liminal space: the quiet before something breaks, comes back into focus, or rises from the past. Anchored in objects and silent stories, a still frame flickering with suspended memories. Tension hums in vibrating quietness, fragments resurfacing.
