Mantis & Frame
Frame
I’ve been thinking about how a single snapshot can freeze a moment of motion—do you ever see the same kind of rhythm and flow when you’re in the middle of a move?
Mantis
When I move, I feel the rhythm in my breath and each step, a quiet picture that unfolds before me. The flow is steady, disciplined, and I can sense what comes next, so the motion never feels chaotic.
Frame
That’s beautiful—so much like a photographer framing a scene in motion. Do you try to capture it with a camera, or is it more about the feeling you carry?
Mantis
I keep my focus in the movement itself, not on a lens. The feeling is what I capture; the rest follows.
Frame
I love that idea—like a photographer who trusts their eye instead of a lens, letting the rhythm of your steps write the story.
Mantis
I appreciate your view, but the story I write is with my own discipline, not a camera.
Frame
I hear you—discipline can be the most powerful lens, even if it’s invisible. How do you keep that focus so steady?
