It Takes More
A portrait of reduced energy, where Nora conserves rather than withdraws. The piece explores endurance as thinning presence — staying, even when less is available to give.
It takes more To do less I start slowly On purpose Not to be careful Just because The weight is still there I know where it sits I don’t check If it’s moved — I pause Between actions Longer than before Nothing tells me When to continue I use both hands For small things I rest After — Time stretches Then thins I lose track Without losing it I don’t adjust The way I used to I accept The angle Breathing takes A little longer I wait For it I’m not stopping I’m conserving I stay Because leaving Would take more
