Embrace is a vivid depiction of the collective strength and support found in community, particularly among women. The four faces, each gazing outward with soft yet direct expressions, surround a central figure, embodying themes of care, protection, and shared experience. Ledig’s characteristic use of rounded forms and soft pinks, contrasted against the deep blue background, emphasizes the warmth and solidarity within this group. Embrace serves as a powerful metaphor for the nurturing and protective nature of sisterhood, where individual identities merge into a collective experience of support, love, and care.
