Set in Motion investigates the internal and external forces that pull us in various directions and sometimes even hinders our ability to live life to the fullest. “A body in motion will stay in motion, and a body at rest will stay at rest. Unless an external force changes something.” It looks at the many unexpected twists and turns that life takes us on, that can make us feel as if we are caught in a web. It touches on life-altering events, but also minor moments that can have opposite outcomes from extreme exhaustion, pain, and confusion, to hope and happiness. Many people often feel as if their lives are spinning out of control, but if we create enough motion, and explore our own curiosities, we will find the proper resting place, and our purpose along with it.
