“Twin Reflections II” intricately weaves the narrative of a new mother’s journey, navigating the well-intentioned but often conflicting advice from the elder matriarchs in the family. The two apples, representing the fraternal twins, and their reflections in the vase stand as metaphors for the mother and the duality of her role—nurturer of her children and bridge between generations. The reflective surface captures the sweet and sour facets of extended family dynamics, where strong opinions and deep love coexist, converging in the harmony of the still life. This piece speaks to the delicate balance a mother must find, honouring the wisdom of ‘the grannies’ while forging her own path in motherhood.
