Title: Keep It Together
Description:
Keep It Together is a monoprint composed from small, salvaged pieces of vintage letterpress type—fragments once meant to form tidy lines of text, now gathered into a dense, slightly unraveling structure. Printed in a layered green gradient, the composition conveys the feeling of cohesion under strain: shapes pressing inward, holding tight, yet fraying subtly along the edges.

At the center, the blocks align into a strong, almost architectural formation, while the outer areas show signs of drift—clusters pulling away, tiny gaps opening, and the clean grid beginning to break apart. The result is a visual tension between solidity and dissolution, between order maintained and order slipping.

The worn textures of the old type make the theme even more resonant: each piece contributes what it can, imperfect but essential, creating a collective strength built from individual fragments. Keep It Together becomes a quiet meditation on balance—how structures (physical, emotional, or social) hold steady even as forces tug at their seams.
