Mother

This painting is a quiet reverence a visual meditation on breasts not as object, but as origin. Rendered in an ephemeral, almost anatomical light, the focus turns inward to the intricate, radiant network of milk glands. Those unseen structures that hold the capacity to nourish, comfort, and sustain new life.

There’s a deep softness to this piece, but also power. It’s an abstract portrayal of what it means to give physically, emotionally, spiritually. The layered forms suggest both biology and metaphor: lines branching like roots or rivers, luminous against a dreamlike backdrop, symbolizing the ancient and intimate act of feeding another human from your own body.

By bringing the interior forward, this work honours the unseen labor and sacred intelligence of the body. It is not about perfection or idealized femininity it is about function, essence, connection. A quiet miracle made visible.

This piece invites reflection on the maternal, the human, the deeply connective. It celebrates not just the body, but the body in service of life.
