Hold
The texture of this piece is integral to its voice. Built through layered brushwork, the surface feels worn, almost weathered—like the painting itself is holding a memory. Thick and thin applications of oil shift across the canvas, from soft washes to dense, dragged strokes that reveal both the rawness of emotion and the act of holding something in. You can feel the artist’s hand not just moving, but pressing, blending, pulling back—a physical metaphor for the mental and emotional space the piece occupies.
