This work reflects hope as inheritance, the quiet protection passed between generations through touch, presence, and care. The softened photographic surface, layered parchment, and stitched elements evoke the fragility of memory and the act of preserving what is most tender.

Rather than portraying hope as dramatic or absolute, the piece focuses on intimacy and continuation: the ways love, safety, and resilience are carried forward even in uncertain times. The visible imperfections and repairs become part of the work’s meaning, suggesting that hope often survives through preservation rather than perfection.
