Staircase – Christine R. Choi

$600.00

In Staircase, a childhood moment captured mid-climb overlaps with my adult face. This was a place of transition in our home—always between one room and the next. Juxtaposed with my present self, it becomes a reminder that we’re always moving between versions of who we were and who we’re becoming. The image asks for stillness within that movement, a small moment of peace and progress before taking the next step.

ARTIST STATEMENT

For Deep Rest, I pair childhood portraits—taken in familiar places like playgrounds, kitchen counters, and living rooms—with recent selfies of myself. Placing these images side by side highlights the quiet continuity of how we see ourselves, shaped by the everyday spaces that held us then and still influence us now.

The juxtapositions act as a call for pause: an invitation to slow down long enough to notice the parts of ourselves that persist beneath the noise of daily life. They’re small reminders that peace isn’t always found in stillness, but in seeing ourselves with a little more honesty and a little less urgency.

Through these pieces, I’m searching for moments where past and present meet without needing to resolve anything—just long enough to breathe.
