30-Day Breathing Project

• Description: A daily 5-minute drawing experiment focused on breath and movement.
• Concept: Decreasing tension, developing consistency, and transitioning from conscious to unconscious mark-making.
• Relation: Reflects my interest in process-driven work and the intersection of body and art

In The Breathing Project, I reimagines drawing as a somatic act—an intuitive record of existence anchored in the rhythm of inhalation and exhalation. Here, the hand does not merely render form; it becomes a vessel through which presence is inscribed onto the surface. Aligning my gestures with breath, I captured the imperceptible—the overlooked cadence of being alive.

This practice is neither premeditated nor outcome-driven; rather, it is a surrender to the body's most instinctive gesture of survival. The act of drawing becomes a meditation on impermanence, a quiet insistence that even the subtlest of presences deserves to be acknowledged. Yet, as I consciously attempt to mark existence, an unsettling question emerges—what if mark-making is not an act of assertion, but one of release?
