“The Sheltering Years” is a self-portrait capturing a tender moment after giving my son a haircut. Bathed in sunlight, it reflects on the limited time spent together, addressing the guilt of my frequent absences and the helplessness against time and reality. This artwork explores the complexities of motherhood and the bittersweet emotions in our shared moments.
