"How do I hold space?"

This painting emerged from a dream in which I found myself seated on the floor, reflecting on the cycles of my life; what I have accepted, what I have endured, and the ways I have stretched myself beyond my own capacity. “How do I hold space?” is both a question and a continued practice. It asks what it means to remain open, present, and compassionate without self-abandonment. This piece is an invitation to sit with discomfort, to witness one’s own needs without judgment, and to consider how care can exist in balance rather than sacrifice.
