| definition | A figure depicted in active movement — jumping, running, gesturing widely — within a composition of otherwise static or slowly moving figures. Introduces implied time and sequence into a scene, suggesting an imminent transformation of the depicted moment. |
| editorialNote | Source: 20260309. Example: a child mid-jump at the edge of flood water implies the still reflective surface is about to be shattered. The figure functions as a temporal hinge as much as a compositional accent. |
