"Hold It Together" is a striking artwork that encapsulates the essence of unity and collective strength through a powerful photograph of a sculpture. This piece features three simplified figures, cast in iron, standing in a circle, each raising their arms to support a single white sphere held aloft between them.
 
The figures can be interpreted as representing a family or a chosen family, inviting viewers to find their own meanings in the relationships depicted. Their minimalist forms emphasise the profound nature of human connection, suggesting that strength is found in togetherness. By holding the sphere together, they embody the concept of shared responsibility, signifying how we rely on one another to navigate the complexities of life.
 
The iron construction of the figures creates an impactful silhouette, conveying a sense of resilience and permanence. Meanwhile, the white sphere, illustrated by Tom, serves as a visual metaphor for the world, symbolizing the collective efforts required to support and uplift one another.
 
"Hold It Together" encourages reflection on the significance of community and the power of leaning on each other in times of need. This artwork not only represents a moment of solidarity but also highlights the enduring strength found in our connections with others, reminding us that together, we can hold the weight of the world.
