3" Vinyl cutout sticker
 
Cold Grip
 
This piece captures the raw intensity of what it feels like when pain has a hold on the heart. The skeletal hands represent the weight of grief, loss, and emotional struggle—those moments when it feels like our heart is being squeezed too tightly. The dripping red reminds us of the wounds we carry, the parts of us that feel fragile, broken, or bleeding.
 
Yet, within the heaviness lies meaning. By creating art, we give shape to the emotions that are often too overwhelming to explain with words. The act of putting pain on paper transforms it into something outside of ourselves—something we can see, reflect on, and begin to release.
 
Art reminds us that even when we feel crushed, our heart still beats, still feels, and still longs for healing. Each mark of ink and stroke of color is proof that what hurts can also be turned into beauty.
 
Through expression comes release. Through release comes healing.
