  The Inhabited Pause "Waiting is not merely the passage of time; it is an active, often uncomfortable internal labour." In Waiting Room Portrait, I explore the profound tension of maintaining one’s presence within the "in-between." Drawing inspiration from the quiet, heavy resignation in Honoré Daumier’s waiting rooms, this digital watercolour seeks to transform the modern waiting experience from a static period of boredom into a vivid, spiritual practice.

It has to change. Workplaces must offer opportunities for leisure activities within the workday. Incorporating leisure to benefit employees, help refresh minds, inspire creativity, and reduce stress, ultimately leading to better performance.

Rather than viewing leisure solely for after-work hours, it should be seen as an integral part of the working day. By creating an environment that integrates leisure, employees can feel more satisfied and engaged, allowing them to tackle work challenges with intrinsic engagement. Employees are not just machines that produce output but rather human beings who deserve balance and fulfilment in their lives.

Let's blend work and leisure congruously, creating a workplace that nourishes the spirit and sharpens the intellect. Shifting from productivity to fulfilment can lead to a more enriched and satisfying work experience.
