IF: sacrifice



now i have to think how to explain this... i guess it's about those women who feel always obligated to be perfect mothers, housewifes and wifes, or in other words - my mother.

That is a very fine illo and here too the sacrificing mother is a familiar bitter-sweet figure.

Yes - I think, the little word "perfect" is destructive for everybody!

very fine image - and I like the newspaper - from which country comes the newspaper?

i love all the prints - i think i'm gonna give my mom a call.

i also took some time to look back at your other work (since you were so kind as to look at mine), and i must say that i enjoy the diversity in styles that you've used. i've always thought that it was good to have a lot of "tools", and you certainly do.
