“Hold on” by Evdokia Georgiou is a small-scale sculpture that takes the form of a transparent, resin-cast figure resembling a familiar toy—the Lego character. This transparent figure is infused with preserved flowers, giving the impression of nature captured within a synthetic, childlike shell. The flowers, arranged within the figure’s torso, present a delicate contrast to the hard, translucent resin surrounding them.

The artwork explores themes of vulnerability, nostalgia, and the tension between nature and artificiality. The Lego form is universally recognizable, evoking memories of childhood, playfulness, and innocence. Encasing flowers, symbols of life and fragility, inside a hardened shell might suggest the human tendency to preserve memories or emotions, protecting them from the ravages of time. The transparent nature of the resin allows viewers to see the flowers but not touch them, reflecting the idea that memories and emotions can be seen, felt, and remembered but not altered or physically reclaimed.The title “Hold on” resonates with this theme, suggesting an invitation to cling to cherished memories or moments of beauty, despite their ephemerality. It may also hint at the artist’s encouragement to appreciate and preserve nature and delicate aspects of humanity within a modern, often synthetic world.“Hold on” prompts reflection on the transience of beauty and the lengths to which we go to hold onto aspects of life that are fleeting. The piece invites viewers to confront their own relationship with memory, preservation, and the natural world. In a rapidly changing world, the sculpture serves as both a reminder and a plea to cherish the delicate and often overlooked moments of beauty in our lives.
