The ground beneath you shifts. You search for your footing, adjust your steps, but your balance is constantly changing. The surroundings shift, sounds amplify the feeling of moving forward—but where?

Being a newly graduated art teacher is often described as struggling to stay afloat, tossed between inspiration and exhaustion, freedom and constraints, security and uncertainty. The structure is there, but it isn’t always stable.

In this installation, that feeling becomes physical. You step into an experience where the line between control and chaos blurs, where you are expected to keep moving forward even as the ground gives way beneath you.
