In The Holding, invites us into an intimate gesture of tenderness between woman and animal—stone and softness. Cradled in the figure’s arms, a cat rests with a serene vulnerability, mirroring the quiet resolve in her face. Surrounding them, proteas bloom in bold, saturated reds and corals—symbols of courage, resilience, and transformation.

The marble-like woman is not simply a statue—she is memory made flesh, love rendered in permanence. Her closed eyes suggest a prayer or a benediction, while the weightless composition of florals cascading through her hair evokes rebirth through rootedness. Delicate dragonflies drift through the ether—harbingers of change, soul, and flight.

This work serves as a visual hymn to the sacred act of holding—grief, love, memory, and the small, miraculous lives that pass through our hands. It reminds us that what is held with care becomes eternal.
