Devorah Rothman
I Am Mother: Tales Of A Maternal Warrior
Winning Bid: R 13,000.00
Size Framed: 900 x 1550mm
Medium: Mixed media, thread and acrylic paint on canvas
In this artwork, “I am a Mother”, Devorah embodies the transformative power of maternal love. Wrapped in a self-sewn dress, the artist dances uninhibited stepping out of the flames, symbolizing her emergence into a strong, proud maternal warrior, despite unbearable pain. Through layers of acrylic paint, stitching thread, and collaging, the canvas weaves together themes of vulnerability, abuse, resilience, and empowerment. Intricate stitching on flames represents scars that despite their imprint, shape and validate our worth and beauty whilst the colours dance across the canvas, declaring ‘I am a mother, imperfect yet enough. I am a woman, scarred yet strong. I am free, I am safe, and most importantly, I am worthy.’ This piece, which stands as a beacon of hope and reminds us that imperfections weave our stories together, is part of a series honouring motherhood’s beauty and brutality.
