Holding Too Tight explores the emotional weight of grasping something beyond its natural moment—whether love, memory, or the desire for control. The intense red figure presses inward, surrounded by warm, textured strokes that convey both longing and strain. The artwork captures the tension between protecting what matters and suffocating it through fear. Through expressive pastel movement, the piece invites reflection on the delicate balance between holding on and letting go.
