A woman and a horse face one another, suspended in a moment before movement begins.

The horse represents instinct, vitality, and the rhythm of life, while the woman embodies the awareness to recognize that rhythm and choose how to move with it.

This scene captures the stillness just before setting out — a quiet moment of checking one’s direction before taking the first step.

Rather than being about simply moving forward, Before the First Step reflects on the moment when we come to understand how we want to move forward.
