Reach

“Reach for the Void, it reaches back”

Reach captures the fragile moment just before contact. A pale hand extends downward, its touch barely breaking the surface of an unknown plane, sending out soft ripples. The gesture is almost curious. An action that could be mistaken for hope, or for a search for grounding.

From below, a darker reflection rises to meet it. Formed from shadow, it transforms the act into a sinister invitation.

The piece speaks to the dangerous familiarity of depressive thought patterns, when darkness begins to feel comforting, predictable, even safe. The ripple marks the instant of recognition: the realization that you may be mistaking something. Reach warns that the Void is not empty or indifferent. It responds, and once it takes your hand, it may be reluctant to let go.
