Step One

A diptych measuring 2 × 100 cm (H) × 80 cm (W).

This diptych, executed in oil on linen, depicts a staircase as a metaphor for movement and inner state. The contrast between ascending and remaining still expresses the tension between progress and introspection. The anonymous figures and the hushed, austere space reinforce a sense of estrangement and contemplation. In this way, the work invites the viewer to reflect on direction, choice, and the psychological space that emerges between departure and arrival.
