Artistic Vision Behind “The Wait”
Whitehorse describes “The Wait” as a profound exploration of time and existence, stating:
“‘The Wait’ is a descent through time’s erosion, where memories fade, feelings numb, anger swells. Excitement turns to disappointment. Life withers. Patience overtaken by frustration. Scratching the surface leads to burrowing within; the deeper you dig, the darker it gets. Bearings are lost, hope is beyond reach. Alone in the void, there is nothing to do but embrace The Wait.”
