Hard Reset

Hard Reset represents the decisive moment when a system is fully powered down in order to restore function.

Unlike gradual adjustment, this work speaks to the necessity of interruption—when incremental fixes are no longer sufficient and a complete stop is required. Drawing from technological language, Hard Reset symbolizes the courage to pause, disconnect, and clear corrupted processes that can no longer be repaired while running.

The composition reflects disruption as intention. Fragmented forms, breaks in flow, and stark contrasts signal the discomfort of stopping, while layered rebuilding suggests the possibility that follows. This piece acknowledges that rest, silence, and disengagement are not failures, but prerequisites for clarity.

Hard Reset asks the viewer to consider where life demands a full stop rather than another workaround. It reframes rest as strategy and reset as an act of strength.
