gesture is a study of fleeting movement and the ephemeral traces left behind by human presence. Bath captures the subtle poetry in a simple act, a hand poised, a fabric shifted, a moment suspended, inviting reflection on the quiet intensity of ordinary life. The muted, washed-out palette reinforces the sense of time slipping away, while soft forms and blurred edges evoke the delicate imperfection of memory. Rather than focusing on sensuality or narrative, gesture emphasizes observation, awareness, and the beauty embedded in transient, often overlooked details, creating a meditative space where the viewer can pause and inhabit the delicate rhythm of a moment in flux.
