Shades of Motherhood

Shades of Motherhood is a personal exploration of early parenthood, capturing the evolving bond between mother and child.

​

This collection of 13 artworks depicts intimate moments of postpartum life and toddlerhood—first steps, shared discoveries, and quiet reflections. Each piece reflects the duality of motherhood: joy and exhaustion, connection and self-redefinition. These works are also featured in my poetry book, expanding the conversation between image and word.

​

Additionally, four more pieces delve into how parenthood is shaped by consumer culture and environmental influence. This series examines how nature nurtures our instincts, while societal pressures and marketing exploit our fears and desires for the "perfect" environment. It contrasts the natural with the artificial, urging a more mindful, sustainable approach that values connection over material excess.
