Really this picture does it no justice..One of my favorite things about painting is working with the texture and brush-strokes..and this doesn't really show off either, unfortunately.
It is about my views of social stereotypes on women and giving birth/ being a mother. This stereotype does not discriminate and it effects all races..The stereotype is that a woman's ultimate goal/ purpose in life, is to procreate and that it is the highest form of happiness a woman could ever hope to possibly achieve. So, we are somewhat of an assembly line...We are born, we grow up, we give birth, etc..
It is inevitable that a woman should give birth...
and it is shocking and insulting when a woman wishes to remain childless. I have encountered countless people in my life with this thought process.
Motherhood can be a beautiful thing, but SO MANY young women are told either blatantly, or covertly, that this is their ultimate fate..their purpose for living.
