The Slow Walking Project is a durational performance and public activation that challenges conventional ideas of speed and movement. The work was inspired by the artist’s mother, who often calls them a "sloth" for being slow to respond, speak, and move. This prompted the artist to question what the "right" speed to move at really is — and, more importantly, who decides it.

In 2022, the artist held a public workshop for slow walking at Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne. By taking the familiar act of walking and pushing it to the slowest possible pace, the artist sought to explore how this altered movement affected both their own experience and the reactions of those in the surrounding public space.

The following year, in 2023, the artist developed Slow Walking Race, staged again at Queen Victoria Market. This unconventional race invited members of the public to sign up on-the-spot, where merit was determined by slowness — the winner being the last to cross the finish line. Through this playful reversal of competition, the project encouraged participants to reconsider the cultural value placed on speed and productivity, instead embracing slowness as a space for reflection, connection, and presence.
