QUIET INHALE captures the moment before movement — the intake that prepares the body to continue. It is a work about anticipation rather than action, about gathering rather than releasing. The image remains close to monochrome, softened by a warm undertone that suggests skin, proximity and quiet awareness.

This work reflects a state of readiness. After release, QUIET INHALE marks the return of tension in its most subtle form — not as pressure, but as potential. The breath enters, the body expands slightly, holding what is needed for what comes next.

The smaller scale of the work reinforces its intimacy. The image does not demand attention, but invites closeness, asking the viewer to slow down and attune to its rhythm.

The photograph is printed on a rigid panel and framed in naturally tanned leather, hand-painted using a self-developed colouring technique. The leather frame is held under tension and intentionally irregular, continuing the physical language of the body — expanding, responsive, and alive.

The work is designed to be wall-mounted and can be hung using the two fixing points on the back.
