Still Holding On is a quiet meditation on resilience and the instinct to preserve what matters—even as time erodes the edges. Centered within a fragile, weathered box is a small, felted form, tenderly nested yet surrounded by decay and distortion. The box, lined with worn text and aged paper, suggests both confinement and protection—an emotional container for memory, identity, or longing.

This piece invites viewers to consider what they’re still holding onto—grief, hope, love, identity—and how even the smallest things can become sacred through their survival. It’s a tribute to the quiet strength found in vulnerability and the stories we preserve when everything else is at risk of being lost.
