Currently on view at The Kennedy in Houston, Held from Above explores suspended force, restraint, and quiet ascension through layered mixed media on translucent synthetic film.

A suspended horse resists neither gravity nor restraint, yet remains held in a moment that defies collapse. The vertical line becomes more than tension—it suggests a force beyond the visible, an unseen connection that sustains rather than confines. In this suspended state, the work explores the fragile threshold between surrender and endurance, where what holds us is not always what binds us.
