The textile installation “The First Hold” combines a pair of my baby's early pants, gently stuffed to recall the shape of tiny legs, and a heart made of concrete held within a wooden frame. Pressed into the heart is the imprint of a child’s hand holding a parent’s finger. It captures one of the first silent moments of connection. The softness of babyhood meets the weight of lasting memory.

This bond, formed from the first days of life, is both gentle and unbreakable. The piece holds the feeling of safety, love, and closeness that begins with a simple touch.

This artwork is the part of my big project "Fragile Beginnings". All project here
