What Remains After Holding
Acrylic on canvas
This work comes from all the hands that have touched my heart. The ones that steadied me, cared for me, helped put me back together, and eventually had to let go.
Some belong to people still beside me. Others belong to people I can only hold in memory. Their care continues to shape how I move through the world and how I care for others.
What Remains After Holding is my way of acknowledging those lasting impressions. I carry something of every person who has held me with love.
