About this piece


In Tatty and Me, the artist captures the quiet yet powerful connection between a father and his newborn son through the meeting of a weathered hand and a tiny fist. The tilted composition reflects a life reframed by the responsibilities and love of parenthood, while the contrast in scale symbolises the passing of strength, wisdom, and experience from one generation to the next. Set against darkness, the work evokes the Jewish ideal of l’dor v’dor—from generation to generation—celebrating the enduring covenant of faith, identity, protection, and belonging to his child.
