About the Work
Exhaling is more than releasing air; it is a process of letting go.
I suffered from panic disorder for a number of years, and learning to breathe properly and fully became an important part of the healing process. Trying to abstract the emotion of exhaling was an interesting experience. From expansion comes release. The body empties.
When breathing mindfully, you begin to notice the oddest sensations. At the end of a long exhale, there is often an emotional response—a kind of quiet sadness, a surrender. Inhalation, by contrast, nourishes and replenishes. Yet the exhale is equally vital. It creates space for the inhale. Without release, without the relinquishing of tension, joy remains unrealized.
This piece and its counterpart exist in opposition to one another: the inhale and the exhale, the top of the breath and the bottom.
Breathwork explores the emotional landscape of breathing as both a physical and symbolic act. Together, these works reflect the rhythms of expansion and release, reminding us that healing often begins by making room for what comes next.
