This drawing is a part of Don't Let Go series created during 2017-2019.
The technique of not lifting the tip of the pen off paper till the drawing is complete also reflects the emotional attachment of the depicted subjects. The series show multiple emotions, human relationships, pets, companionship, entanglement, love and passion, obsessions, and our need of a physical and emotional closeness.
The semi-abstract nature of the series enables the viewers to connect with their own emotions and memories, allowing them to freely interpret the lines on the paper.
210gsm smooth paper.
Unframed.
