Mother

This piece is a tribute to my mother, portrayed in a way that evokes admiration, reverence, and deep respect. I sought to capture her in a glorified, almost elevated light—reflecting how I see her: as a figure of strength, wisdom, and profound influence. Through this portrait, I aim to honor her experiences and the role she has played in shaping the woman I have become.The work explores intergenerational themes of power and protection—specifically, the enduring legacy of mothers safeguarding and empowering their daughters. It speaks to the quiet resilience passed from one generation to the next, and the sacred bond that binds them.
