Mama don't go anywhere

Artist

Deepikah Bhardwaj

Description

This painting is part of the Balloon series. A semi-permanent state of social isolation yet never having a moment to yourself sums up motherhood, a least in the early years. The series explores a child’s non-stop need for attention. The routine of child-rearing can overwhelm and severely damage one’s self-worth and identity. Add to this the internalized guilt of feeling like a bad mother for wanting a respite from the routine. It employs childlike and radical strokes to contextualize chaos.
