About The Artwork

The hands that hold me. "You always say don't start with the tears, you are not a baby, but you still hold me and pet me when I do, saying, "I don't want to see your tears." You are always busy, but you still check up on me every day, and every time I run to you, you open your arms and hug me tight" "The Hand That Holds Me" mirrors the complexities of human relationships. In the words accompanying the artwork, we discover a touching dialogue between the two figures. The first lady, who is being held, speaks of her vulnerability and the solace she finds in the unwavering support of her companion. This emotional refuge, a safe haven in times of tears and despair, is beautifully symbolized by the artwork's tender embrace. Despite her own trials and tribulations, she remains a steadfast pillar of support, checking in daily and offering solace with open arms. Her love for her friend shines through in her actions and words. "The Hand That Holds Me" encapsulates the universal struggle of witnessing a loved one grapple with mental health issues. It serves as a poignant reminder that support and empathy are vital, not only during times of crisis but throughout life's journey. In the end, it underscores the significance of being there for one another, holding each other close, and sharing the burden of pain and sorrow.
