An embrace can be a boundary and a refuge at the same time—an inward gesture that holds warmth, patience, and quiet strength. This portrait distills that moment into a single calm figure, where tenderness is expressed through simplicity rather than detail.

In metal, the piece is defined by confident contour lines and large, clean fields of negative space that create a sculptural silhouette. The sweeping hair forms a protective arc, while the arms and hands are shaped with rounded cutlines that keep the design smooth, readable, and strong for a crisp floating shadow effect.

Curator’s Note: Modern portrait traditions often reduce the face and body to essential shapes to emphasize mood over likeness, using negative space as a language for intimacy, restraint, and inner steadiness.
