What Is Held Does Not Rest
Acrylic on canvas
Two charcoal-dark hands cup open against a pale ground. They appear ready to receive, protect, or carry something just beyond the edge of the image. Their loose, searching lines give the gesture both tenderness and strain.
The title asks what it costs to keep holding on. Care can be an act of love, but it can also ask something of the hands that offer it. In this moment, the palms remain open, suspended between release and responsibility.
