"Motherhood"

Motherhood can be strong or fleeting, dynamic or static.

It can be warm or cold, soft or hard.

The mother neither got angry nor ran away, but just gently embraced her child.

She neither glared nor looked away, just stared into the air.

I felt her natural maternal love in her reaction to me, a foreign object between mother and child. I wanted to capture that in a photograph.
