Hold onto my heart, is a title borrowed from one of my wife Jina Khayyer’s poems, from her Tear Catcher collection. Hold onto my heart is an offering of support and solidarity. The inflated heart and hand act like life-rafts and my protagonist, Khayyer, holds on, not just with her hands but with her entire body, and repeats, with urgency, ‘I'm holding you, you're holding me.’
