OVERVIEW

A visual study exploring impact, friction and surface under stress.

Through a series of close observations, the project captures the moment when tension becomes visible. Where material, gesture and pressure interact to transform both surface and perception.

The body is never fully revealed, only suggested through fragments, traces and consequences.

Initiation

Close-up of a person's hand with a bandaged thumb, opening a can of tennis balls using a pull tab.

A contained gesture.

The release of pressure begins with a minimal action, where tension is still internal, not yet visible.

Activation

Close-up of a sneaker on a clay court surface, with the focus on the sole and side of the shoe.

Friction activates the surface.

The ground reacts, particles lift, and the first visible signs of tension emerge through contact.

Impact

A person holding a tennis racket with a tennis ball on the strings, on an indoor tennis court.

A brief moment of collision.

Energy transfers from one surface to another, compressing matter and distorting form.

Residue

Close-up of clay court a partial ball in the foreground and a piece of wood on the right side.

After impact, the surface settles.

Traces remain: subtle, quiet, yet marking the transformation of the material.

Body Under Pressure

Close-up of a wet, textured skin on a person’s face, with water droplets and strands of curly hair.

The body reacts internally.

Moisture, heat and micro-textures reveal the invisible tension carried within.

Rupture

Close-up of a green and pink string tennis grid with a small green stick entangled in it.

Tension reaches its limit.

The structure fails, making the accumulated pressure suddenly visible.

Trace

Shadow of a person on a clay court surface.

Only the trace remains.

A presence without form, where the action dissolves into a residual imprint on the surface.

FINAL INTENTION

Impact Study reduces action to its essential components: contact, pressure and transformation.

By isolating fragments and focusing on material interactions, the project shifts away from performance to reveal a more silent, contained form of intensity.
