"Mother Carries the Burden" Hand-Painted Acrylic Painting on Paper 8Hx10Wx1.5D by Erin McGrath Rieke
ABOUT
Mother Carries the Burden is a deeply personal piece from the Reflections Series: Turbulence Behind Tranquility. With a blend of acrylic paints and reclaimed art paper, this work examines the profound theme of self-awareness for those who embody the role of a mother, regardless of circumstance or title. It reflects the unseen weight carried by those who nurture, protect, and give of themselves in ways that often go unnoticed.
At the heart of this series lies the belief that self-reflection is crucial for authentic self-awareness. By observing our thoughts, emotions, and actions without judgment, we create the space necessary for personal growth and deeper understanding. Through the medium of art, this series reveals the internal chaos beneath the surface, unraveling the layers of caregiving and sacrifice that shape the maternal experience.
This piece invites viewers to engage with the emotional complexities of nurturing, and to find peace in the turbulence of life’s demands. It’s a visual journey that honors the strength and vulnerability of those who carry the burdens of others while seeking their own balance.
