A contemplative woman dressed in soft pink tones captures a moment of serene introspection.

She is called Starting Block, like those used by sprinters to provide stability and support before takeoff.

The stance that a runner takes when using a starting block can sometimes look awkward, not unlike this composition.

But once that first step is taken, everything changes. Momentum builds, confidence grows, and what once felt uncomfortable becomes purposeful.

The starting block reminds us that we don’t have to have it all figured out: we just need the courage to take that first step. 

‘Starting Block'

Mixed media on canvas. 

63cm x 53cm framed in natural oak.
