Moving Forward is a sculptural artefact conceived as a single forward step. The dimensions of the work correspond to the width and extension of the body in motion, translating a moment of gait into a fixed spatial unit. Rather than depicting movement, the sculpture isolates one deliberate action and holds it in form.

The work positions making as a committing gesture, where material labour becomes a means of fixing intention. Leather and wood are brought together through controlled effort, reinforcing the premise that direction can be articulated through physical construction. In this way, the single step functions not as transition or journey, but as a resolved proposition, an object that embodies orientation, decision, and the possibility of forward motion.
