“Pushing Through the Void” captures the relentless rhythm of labor and the quiet resilience of those who show up day after day, no matter what life throws at them. Drawn from over two years spent shadowing the same construction crew, this piece distills their grit into geometry—angular forms, vivid safety vests, and the stark contrast between shadow and light. It’s a meditation on perseverance: how ordinary people, often overlooked, push through noise, exhaustion, and uncertainty to keep the world moving. In their persistence lies a kind of grace—the beauty of repetition, the poetry of endurance.
