The project started with photography at a local MMA gym, aiming to capture fleeting moments within much larger, fluid movements. While the stills revealed tension and precision, they couldn’t quite articulate the full arc of motion — the choreography hidden within the chaos. That need to explore the shape of movement more deeply led me to motion capture. Through MoCap, I was able to isolate and trace the path of each strike, pivot, and shift in weight — every limb becoming a kind of sculptural brushstroke in space. The violence of the sport gave way to a quiet elegance; elbows and knees no longer just weapons, but instruments composing lines, loops, and rhythm in the air.
