timeout

Timeout reflects on pause within a structured and competitive environment, using the folding chair as a stand in for moments of rest that are temporary and defined by the system around them. Set within a black and white field, the act of sitting becomes conditional, a brief interruption rather than a true escape. The surface was built through repeated impact using a basketball covered in black paint, creating a textured ground that carries the rhythm and force of play. Painted in acrylic on vinyl banner, the piece holds tension between action and pause, where even stillness is shaped by the rules that contain it.
