Held is a hand-stitched mixed-media beadwork piece by Samira Stephens. When I was making this piece, I was thinking about how comforting it is to be held and supported. Presented in an 8 x 8 cm wooden embroidery hoop, this one-of-a-kind colourful wall art is made in Melbourne. The Sparkle Series is a contemporary exploration of identity, intersectionality, and healing by Samira Stephens.
