A sudden gravity. A glowing directive.
The architecture of a promise, collapsing infinitely forward.
Obey the sign. Carry the consequence.
A beacon suspended at the edge of the corridor.
But the space does not lead; it only multiplies.
Pushing the mass into the next iteration. And the next.
A relentless march toward a false coordinate.
The exit is not a destination. It is a symptom.
To realize the door is a projection is to finally open your eyes.
The structure requires you to flee.
True defiance is realizing there is nowhere to go and no need to run.

EXIT STRATEGY visualizes the psychological loop of avoidance. The runner—weighted down by the heavy, literal baggage of past choices—sprints toward a promised resolution that only replicates the journey. The corridor does not lead to an exit; the corridor is the condition. The mind’s desperate need to find a way out creates an infinite tunnel of "next times" and "elsewheres." Ultimately, the piece asks: If you spend your whole life executing an exit strategy, when do you actually arrive?
