In “The Starting Line”, the repetitive act of re-tying a shoelace becomes a metaphor for self-reformation. When shoelaces are untied, people instinctively stop walking to tie them, pulling the knots tighter than before. Each pull of knots is an action of resilience, a tightening that resolves a moment of failure. Distorted, broken pieces of dark background represent emotional turmoil by encountering hurdles, while the vivid image of myself, looking further, captures the sense of springiness. This imagery simultaneously brings courage through strong, yet silent energy that sets each individual to a starting line, where a path of new possibilities opens.
