Motherhood
$9,000.00
Motherhood is a regal, deeply spiritual celebration of maternal protection, fertility, and ancestral creation. The composition centers on a pregnant woman in profile, resting an affectionate hand over her swelling belly within an architectural halo. Rendered in a tactile mosaic of fine glass seed beads and textured stone tesserae, her body and geometric wrapper shimmer in tones of turquoise, amethyst purple, and gold. The fractured, stained-glass background grid nods to cubist structure and traditional indigenous wall markings. Elevating pregnancy into an icon of divine creation, this masterpiece captures maternal tenderness, generational continuity, and spiritual grace.
