SPORT
“The body remembers what the mind forgets.
What moves us is not the muscle, but the myth.”
— Unknown
There’s a tension that lives between surfaces — not quite sweat, not quite skin, but something older, deeper. A memory passed down through instinct. The rubber stretches like silence pulled too tight, and the gloss doesn’t reflect what is, only what once was, or what might be.
Movements begin to lose their purpose, slipping from control into something primal. Gesture becomes ritual. Precision dissolves into rhythm. What once aimed for perfection now leans into the chaos, into the blur between power and surrender.
There are no winners here. No rules to follow. Just a loop of motion — repeated until the reason behind it fades, until repetition becomes meaning itself.
Something shifts. Something breaks.
And when the noise settles, what remains isn’t the performance, nor the technique, but the feeling — raw, unnamed, and entirely real.
