“Dead" Mother Metaphor Painting

The inspiration for this painting came from the book "The Dead Mother: The Work of Andre Green," as well as Jacques Lacan's work "The Mirror Stage as Formative of the I Function." My work alludes to early infantile experiences that reside in the psychotic core of every individual, regardless of the quality of their interaction with the mother during this period. Some may feel puzzled as to why the mother and infant appear sad, as this period is associated with a pleasant merging with the mother and enjoyment for such individuals. Yet, others may empathize with the pain and sorrow of a child who was not seen by the mother, not adequately reflected, didn’t feel her warmth and touch, often remained abandoned and unrecognized in their needs, felt the mother's depression as her emotional death, and couldn’t discover their own self as the eyes that reflected them were dead. I enjoy working with acrylics due to its versatility. My style has evolved through self-exploration and exploration of the world, expressing my imagination and individuality.
