Holding On is a striking watercolor piece that invites reflection on connection and resilience. At its center are thick, steel cables coiled around a smooth river rock, their sturdy forms contrasting with the polished stones beneath them. The cables’ detailed textures reveal intertwined fibers and weathered surfaces, while the stones offer a quiet, natural foundation with subtle color shifts from gray to gentle earth tones. Scattered twigs add delicate accents, heightening the composition’s organic feel. Rendered with a restrained palette of just three colors, the artwork captures the tension and harmony between strength and fragility, prompting viewers to consider the delicate balance in moments of holding on—whether to place, to something unseen, or to a fleeting instant in time.
