Held, BeforeShe Asked

Limited edition · 40 prints

A father's hands in his daughter's hair at the end of a long day. What the piece shows is a braid. What it holds is a man who learned tenderness without being shown it, and decided she would never have to learn it that way.

About Naje

One artist,one body of work.

Naje Love creates, illustrates, and designs work about culture, children, mothers, fathers, and the community that holds them together. Everything in the shop, the library, and the studio begins the same way — on paper, by hand, before it becomes a print, a book, or a file you can hold on your wall.

From the studio

“Everything here begins the same way — a pencil, a page, and someone worth remembering.”
