How to Hold a Wild Thing presents recent works by New York–based artist Sanié Bokhari made in the period following the birth of her first child. Through paintings, glass sculptures, and textiles, the work considers motherhood as an encounter with unpredictability, vulnerability, and care. Drawing on South Asian miniature traditions, stylized animal forms and compressed spaces serve as symbolic figures for fear, interdependence, and cultural transmission, shifting focus from individual identity toward relational experience.
