Get Set depicts a woman at the starting line of a race, focused and fully present in her body. She is strong, capable, and self-possessed, ready to move on her own terms. The pear sits underneath as a quiet symbol reflecting the runner's position and form. Often used to categorize women's bodies, the pear is reclaimed here not as an external standard, but as an echo of the runner's strength and beauty. Get Set is a celebration of embodied confidence.
