full-fledged drawings: Holding the Pain

“Holding the Pain” is a visual meditation on inner struggle and human vulnerability. The figure of a young woman, pierced by a glowing arrow, seems to gently cradle her own wound, her hands carefully holding the place of impact. Her gaze is filled with both determination and sorrow, while fiery meteors streak across the sky, amplifying the sense of looming chaos. The artwork captures a moment when a person does not try to escape their pain but instead embraces it — recognizing that suffering has become part of their path and their strength.
