Wander. Pause. Make.

A collaborative art collective and experimental media channel exploring stillness, movement, and everything in between.

Mission

To give stray thoughts a place to rest—and stray again. To build a space for artistic wandering, honest expression, and visual experimentation. We don't chase trends; we chase the truth of the moment.

First Project

Mirror / Sponge

A silent film of two artists on opposite sides of a glass pane. Movements mirrored. Paint-dipped sponges trail colors across the surface. A conversation in gesture, rhythm, and deterioration. No script. Just tension, release, and reflection.
