This Mother`s Day, we`re wallpapering our office with @Tirtzahbassel`s painting, "Mother Severing the Umbilical Cord (after Francisco Goya)."
Bassel writes: In the painting we see the mother’s first act upon releasing the baby into the world. There is violence we’re not used to seeing: the powerful moment of a mother and baby needing to disconnect from each other. The moment of severing is a life-giving moment. And there’s a fierce side of motherhood that’s absent from our cultural imagery. There’s intensity here, but is it rage? Fear? Empowerment? Loss? You feel your mortality in this moment of birth, how close birth is to death.
