Hold · Cradle · Return

In wrestling, to hold is to contain or control, to cradle is to pin, and to return is both to meet an opponent’s attack and to bring them back to the mat. These gestures are physical, intimate, and strategic: a choreography of resistance and response.

The work considers not only the act of wrestling, but the condition of wrestling: what it means to live inside tension, to be in continual negotiation with the world, with one’s body, with history.
