AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In Before the Step, the figure pauses at the threshold.
The body is still, suspended in a moment of quiet anticipation.
There is no movement yet — only preparation, inward and silent.
Innocence here is not fragility, but concentration.
This work explores the instant before action, when presence gathers itself and time briefly holds.

The artwork is ready to hang and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Please note that colors may vary slightly depending on lighting conditions and camera settings.
Shipping is handled with professional, elegant, and secure packaging to ensure maximum protection.
For buyers outside the European Union, shipping may require up to 10 business days after payment to accommodate any necessary procedures.
