Between Holding and Letting Go brings together video and photographic works that explore gesture, labour, and the limits or control through embodied action and environmental exposure. In What passes through the hands becomes a way of knowing (2025), gestures of pouring, sweeping, and bathing unfold through duration and repetition. Attention is held on repeated gestures as they accumulate through effort and time. Open to wind (2025) follows a singular action shaped by external forces. A figure attempts to hold an emergency blanket against the body as Wind resists and reconfigures the gesture, undoing control through exposure and endurance. Intention is continually negotiated with the environment. Presented together, these works consider embodied action as a way of negotiating uncertainty. Gesture becomes a means of working between effort and release, where meaning emerges through persistence rather than resolution.
