"The attempt to deal with the classic iconographic motif of motherhood is an important artistic experience for me - the artist and mother. This theme, exploited in art for centuries, has now been pushed aside. In social perception, the myth of a woman-mother gives way to a woman-employee, woman-boss, woman-in-media, woman-toy. Today, the value of a person is largely defined by achievements in the labor market and presence in the media. I am not trying to argue with this approach. However, I would like to focus on one of the most important social roles of a woman. I am interested in motherhood in the context of transience and the spectrum of emotions related to it, a portrait of a woman in key moments of her life."
