Cradling What Remains

This series captures the tenderness of preservation, the instinct to hold close what time and loss have already begun to take. The figures appear gathered around what is fragile, their gestures protective rather than possessive. Within each composition, stillness carries weight, and the act of holding becomes a quiet affirmation of care.

The imagery evokes intimacy shaped by endurance. The arms that encircle, the bodies that incline toward one another, all reveal love as an act of resilience. These moments of touch are simple, yet they carry the gravity of remembrance. The figures seem to protect what cannot be restored, finding grace in the effort itself.

At its essence, Cradling What Remains is a reflection on devotion in the face of impermanence. It honors the instinct to nurture what is fading, to safeguard the remnants of tenderness amid ruin. In these works, the act of holding is not about possession, but about continuity—the quiet promise that what is cared for will not be forgotten.
