Mother

The Mother, grounded in earthy brown, is regal yet unyielding. Encased in a Victorian-inspired gown with rose-like embellishments, this sculpture also incorporates M1 plaster and resin, representing selflessness and the enduring resilience of motherhood. It balances strength with the delicate beauty of life’s sacrifices, spinning endlessly to reflect a mother’s tireless role. Together, these sculptures challenge societal narratives, presenting a layered understanding of womanhood as both vulnerable and indomitable.
