ACCUMULATED STATES
Figures formed through layering, restraint, and sustained pressure over time
LOAD-BEARING FIGURE — a body carrying weight beyond itself
CONTAINED WITHIN — a figure pressed inward by accumulated layers
STATUS QUO — a figure held in place by repetition and routine
IMPATIENCE — tension building under delay
STILL — restraint without resolution
AFTER THE HOLD — what remains once pressure loosens
WITHIN REACH — movement toward something not yet grasped
