The painting shows an abstract, organic form reminiscent of a mother and child - a depiction of protection, connectedness and originality. The circular, flowing lines create a suction effect that draws the eye into the depths of the painting. The dark, almost black openings within the shapes look like eyes or portals and lend the composition an almost mystical dimension.
The earthy brown tones radiate warmth, while the white in the background creates a balance between light and shadow. The rough, gestural painting style emphasises the processual nature of the depiction - as if the picture were captured in a moment of movement. The forms seem to overlap, as if they were in a state of becoming or transformation.
This work deals with the archetype of the mother figure and her ambivalence - protection and control, security and dissolution. The expressive brushwork and deliberately incomplete lines reinforce the emotional depth of the painting. It remains open to interpretation: Is it a loving embrace or a moment of detachment? The power of the work lies in this tension - it invites the viewer to explore the themes of origin, connection and identity.
