Heading  (2020–)

"Heading" is a body made of fragments. The movements of pedestrians, recorded at crossings around the world, are gathered into an anonymous figure.

The work began during the pandemic, when movement was cut off. When we cannot move, where can we still be heading?

A force that pushes forward, and a force that cannot advance—held back by oneself, by others, by the world. Both are present in every step.

As the sculpture rotates and catches the light, the traces of walking take form. There, time emerges—before and after reverse, overlap, appear at once. Steps already taken and steps being born fold into a single movement.

The walking goes on, still heading somewhere.
