Mama's been working herself to the bone. Maybe we take love for granted, but what Mama's doing is a lot more than loving. No room for mistakes, and no time to rest. The money we don't have. A life full of hard work for us kids. Her body is burning with fatigue. Her hands are callused, her feet raw, and her eyes always tired. Mama is doing the work of many. She doesn't complain, not even to us. She is a strong woman, but sometimes she cries, and she cries alone. Sometimes we see her tears, and I wonder if she cries for us too. I wonder if she ever feels like giving up.
How big, actually.
Drawn to scale against a person of average height. Every size is a 4:5 rectangle, the same proportion as the work itself, so nothing is cropped to fit.
Sizes are the printed image. Framed works add the moulding around that. Standard shipping is included at every size.
Three ways to own it.
Same image, same edition pool, same certificate. What changes is the object it arrives as, and what you have to do when it gets there.
