Caught in the soft pause between decision and dive, Almost In holds a moment of hesitation against the backdrop of motion. While one figure leaps into the unknown, the others linger. connected, grounded, almost ready. There’s a tenderness in the grip, a quiet loyalty in the dog’s stance, and a familiar tension between action and reflection. Painted with layered blues and bold simplicity, the work explores belonging, timing, and the bittersweet ache of being almost, but not quite, part of the moment.
