Description:

In this work, the mother is portrayed in two dimensions. One reflects youth, vitality, and the sweet security of love and stability — a time when leaning on a partner or the comfort of prosperity shaped her sense of belonging. The other side reveals the weight of responsibility: the burden of raising a child, the fleeting nature of time, and the sacrifices demanded by motherhood.

Through this duality, the painting captures both the tenderness of cherished memories and the hardships of an uncertain future. The contrast of colors deepens this dialogue — bright tones symbolizing spring and seaside freshness gradually fade into darker shades, signifying the erosion of joy under life’s trials.

The piece becomes a tribute to the resilience of women, whose beauty and vitality are transformed into strength and sacrifice in the pursuit of security and hope for their children.
