About the Work
CONNECTED is a 48 x 30 inch acrylic painting that explores motherhood as a continuous, embodied lineage rather than a solitary role.
The image of a mother breastfeeding is layered and repeated using the proportions of the golden ratio, allowing time, memory, and presence to coexist within a single form. Rather than resolving into a singular figure, the body appears multiple times - overlapping, echoing, and unfolding - reflecting the way identity expands and fractures through caregiving.
The work emerged from the early days of motherhood, when the physical act of nourishing another life collapsed generations into the present moment. In becoming a mother, I felt newly tethered to my own mother, to her mother before her, and to women across time who have carried this same weight and wonder in their bodies.
Connected honors that inheritance. Its open, gestural surface resists polish in favor of immediacy, inviting the viewer to encounter motherhood not as an idealized image, but as a lived, recursive experience - intimate, demanding, and profoundly connective.
