I picture today’s self as a sequence of decisive moves that remember how they began. Each path advances through a cadence of turns and strides, then retraces that rhythm in reverse — not to return home, but to honour the echo that lives inside every choice. The result is a field of palindromic relays: open lines that carry intention forward, pivot through a quiet centre, and continue with mirrored resolve. Where these relays cross, conversations spark; where they nearly coincide, restraint prevents over-writing. My portrait is that discipline — a choreography of remembered steps that stays airy, legible, and alive.
