This is my other piece, “Hold.” which represents self-control (and gentleness). It’s embroidery inside a plastic box. The statement says:
“My son spent the first couple months of his life in a plastic isolette. This container that God used to help sustain his life is aptly named. So close and yet so far away from me and my touch. Sometimes, self-control looks like doing what is best for others even when it is hardest for you. In this piece, you are told to touch but frustrated by the inability to do so.”
