Grounded explores the tension between tedium and creativity, reclaiming the aesthetics of the mundane. Casts of latex paint emerge gradually over weeks of curing, embodying the deliberate labor and patience once intrinsic to a pre-digital existence. This slow, repetitive process mirrors the unhurried pace of growing up in a pre-internet world, where boredom served as fertile ground for curiosity and invention.

Inviting viewers to look deeply, Grounded challenges those to reconsider the value of stillness and monotony in a culture increasingly driven by instant gratification and endless stimulation.
