Pause captures the eerie stillness of sleep paralysis, where the mind lingers between wakefulness and dreams. This collection unveils the “in-between,” where the familiar blurs into the surreal—a space often felt but rarely understood. Sleep paralysis becomes a metaphor for our dissociation from reality. Through Pause, I explore this liminal stasis, reflecting our struggle to stay grounded as the world drifts just out of reach, leaving us suspended in quiet uncertainty and unease.
