This drawing is a part of Don't Let Go series created during 2019.
The technique of not lifting the pen off the paper till the drawing is complete also reflects the emotional attachment of the people depicted. The series show multiple emotions, human relationships, 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.
