In my work, I have explored breathing as an act of life. Underwater, the exhale takes on a visible form to us. From an emotional standpoint, exhaling is a release, a shedding of tension and control. Both inhaling and exhaling are cyclical, and while we can control them, more often they happen automatically. Breathing is something we can focus on to experience the present moment. Life happens - here and now, in every moment, inhale-exhale.
