What Tries to Hold Me

This piece is a meditation on rising—on the quiet, relentless insistence to grow
even when the world says you shouldn’t. Like wildflowers breaking through
concrete, it speaks to those who continue to bloom in spaces never meant for
them.

Rooted in the stories of those who came before—mothers of movements,
wisdom-bearers, and everyday architects of change—this work honors the
strength and vision of people across generations whose identities encompass the
breadth of womanhood and the full spectrum of gender expression. It is
especially a tribute to those from communities that have carried the layered
weight of racism, colonization, and gender-based violence.

This work is about refusing to stay buried. It’s about pushing back against pain
and powerlessness, reaching toward something beautiful even in the face of
harm. It holds space for the struggle, but centers the choice to thrive. To crack
open. To rise.

Offered as a fine art print, it carries the full presence of the work into your hands, allowing its resonance to live wherever it’s needed.

Each print is produced in collaboration with LumaPrints, a professional fine art printer specializing in museum-quality archival papers and inks. This ensures the work preserves the depth and intention of the original, carrying its strength into your own space. More than a reproduction, it’s a testament to women’s power to create, resist, and transform.
