“For this painting I have decided to represent

a deferent moment of the maternity.

I wanted to explain the unconditional love that mothers

can give to their children, especially during the moment

when the child becomes a teenager, where they are more

selfish, and how particularly in that difficult moment the

mother gives all of her love and compression to them.

For that reason, in the t-shirt the mother wears “you”

and watches her child with open arms, while the boy

wears “me”, symbolising that moment in your life when

you’re transtitioning from your childhood to your adolescence,

and you start thinking only about yourself.

If you notice, the boy looks at the audience. He still

showing his love to his mother, but in a secondly way.”
