Rendered in deep, luminous tones on Canson Infinity Platine paper, "To Be Held" (2021) captures the quiet intensity that defines Shikeith's photographic practice. The archival inkjet print bears the artist's characteristic attention to Black masculine vulnerability, conjuring an emotional atmosphere that feels simultaneously private and universal. The surface quality of the Platine substrate lends the image a subtle sheen, giving the work a presence that rewards close, sustained looking and translates with remarkable authority in an intimate domestic or institutional setting. Shikeith works at the intersection of photography, performance, and installation, consistently foregrounding the interior lives of Black men in ways that resist both spectacle and stereotype. "To Be Held" exemplifies his ability to transform a single image into a site of psychological depth, where tenderness and longing are legible without ever becoming sentimental. The title itself functions as both wish and declaration, extending an invitation to consider the conditions under which care and safety are offered or withheld. Available as an edition of five and signed by the artist, this work represents an accessible entry point into a practice that has earned Shikeith significant critical and institutional recognition, including exhibitions at Yossi Milo Gallery. At 40.6 by 35.6 centimeters, the intimate scale encourages a close, contemplative relationship between viewer and image, making it a compelling addition to a collection focused on contemporary photography or the evolving discourse around race, embodiment, and emotional life.
