Baby Blues
Mom Brain Collection, 2026
Currently Unavailable — Selected for Exhibition
Baby Blues explores the emotional vulnerability and psychological complexity of early motherhood, particularly the tension between the joy of welcoming a child and the emotional challenges that can accompany this profound transition.
Through layered acrylic and mixed media, the painting gives form to feelings that are often difficult to articulate. Its intense blue tones evoke both melancholy and emotional depth, while the gestural marks suggest the uncertainty, exhaustion, and conflicting emotions that can exist beneath the surface of maternal happiness.
The work challenges the expectation that motherhood should be experienced as an uninterrupted state of fulfillment. Instead, it acknowledges the coexistence of love, vulnerability, isolation, and emotional overwhelm.
Part of the Mom Brain collection, Baby Blues reflects on the emotional realities of motherhood and the importance of recognizing experiences that are too often minimized or left unspoken.
