This piece reflects the fragility of infancy and the silent fear of motherhood. A transparent infant, cast in glass-like acrylic and filled halfway with blood, connected to the woman’s hand by an invisible bond. The blood is not the child’s own, but the mother’s: a symbol of life, connection, and mother’s sacrifice. The baby appears both material and ghostlike, its fragile body suspended helpless and dependent. The ring is heavy, delicate, and difficult to wear. Just like the emotional weight it represents.
Through this work, I express the overwhelming vulnerability of early life, the invisible yet powerful bond between mother and child, and the quiet terror of harming someone so precious. The baby is a vessel of life, of fear and love — fragile in mother’s hands.
