His mother is bitter and vindictive - possibly her helplessness and/or fear of being abandoned has led to her efforts to undermine John. He seems unable to change his life without her permission, which she refuses to give.

From within these dimensions will emerge a new depiction/visualization of Motherhood.” Different stages of my son and I are overlaid, and from the different mom and children photography pieces, we have created a dialogue with each other in this dimension upon compressed dimension. “Therefore, different layers of my son and I emerge on the same surface after a lengthy accumulation of detail and texture. “Here I take a family photo each year of my son and myself, and then the next year, take another image of us in front of the previous picture,” she explains.

Her series ‘ The Mother As A Creator‘ is an attempt to represent the fusion of artist and mother, portraying her and her son in various layers as he grows up. “The Mother not only creates life but also creates continually a continuous and fluid matrix of experience between Mother and Child.” “The Mother is like an artist doing her work while calling upon her own wisdom,” she explains.

She sees motherhood as a long and complex journey, one that needn’t be solely about sacrifice and selflessness.
