Demeter

The Grief and Craft of Motherhood

Demeter

Yupo paper, acrylic paint

81” H x 52” W

Demeter is the raw vulnerability and fierce protective instinct of the mother. Her story is one of cyclical grief, rage, and renewal. When her daughter is taken, her mourning freezes the earth; when she is reunited, life blooms again. Demeter represents the fierce vulnerability it takes to put one's deepest emotions into physical form.

This work is part of a series that explores the complex landscape of the mythic feminine, reclaimed as active forces of power, grief, and transformation.
