grip

Description

A grip is the act of firmly seizing an object, and a symbol of human folly that misses the grasp of desire and ambition. The moment it nestles in your hand you feel omnipotent, but once it slips away it heralds the prelude to ruin. On film sets, “grip” names a nameless craftsman supporting heavy equipment, forever wrestling with gravity and merciless schedules. Lose your grip even once and the drama collapses, cameras and actors swallowed by uncontrollable chaos. We rely on the blessing of grip in everyday life, all the while fearing the spectator moment when we slip unseen into oblivion.
