Held in the Middle explores the experience of remaining present within tension - a space where movement and stillness coexist. Layers of paint and drawn line overlap and interrupt one another, creating a sense of weight balanced by restraint.
Rather than resolving the composition, the work allows ambiguity to remain. Subtle contrasts and softened edges suggest steadiness without certainty, inviting the viewer to linger in the quiet center between opposing forces. Sealed with a protective satin varnish.
