41.0 x 61.0 cm

From a path that traces its own course, a red balloon veers away from the trail, forging its ascent toward the mountain. It abandons the safety of the marked path, embracing the slope with a quiet resolve, as if every movement carries the promise of discovering what lies beyond the visible. The landscape holds its breath, where the known dissolves, and the unknown begins to whisper softly of new possibilities. As the path unfolds, fences and bends in the terrain echo the weight of unmade choices and untaken steps. The line between the near and the distant fades into an atmosphere charged with potential. Beneath the vast sky framing the distant mountains, the land transforms, trading the ambiguity of its start for the definition brought by deliberate progression, unveiling horizons that grow with each forward motion. The journey is shaped by doubts, hesitations, falls, and losses, yet the silhouette of the mountain remains a silent guide. Each decision reshapes what was once uncertain, revealing a resilience that propels the ascent. The red balloon, a reflection of our essence, ascends with growing confidence, strengthened by the courage to traverse unmarked terrain and discover the expanse that awaits.
