Another art that caught my eyes. This shows a mother and son in a quiet embrace. A Quiet shelter despite the chaos and pain which the red paint represents. According to the artists, the mother's embrace represents protection, calmness, comfort and love despite disruption and challenges. I totally agree. Seeing this art warms my heart.

I thought that the red paint over the eyes of the woman was an act of vandalism.

That was actually my first question: why does it have red paint on it. But as I read the small note under it, I understand it

Yeah it looked to me like someone had vandalised it. A closer examination however broadens the scope of interpretation!

Right after my friends had their first baby, they came over and presented me with their baby boy and told me they couldn't get him to stop crying and asked me what to do... I took him in my arms, rocked back and forth and talked quietly to him. In a few minutes, he was asleep. His parents told me they'd tried that and it didn't work. I told them they were anxious because they didn't know what to do and he could feel the tenseness when they held him. I told them to relax and not to worry about him going to sleep. As long as they were calm, he'd be calm and comforted by the low sound of their voices. The next time they couldn't get him to sleep, his dad tried what I said and he fell right to sleep.

@rakski It's important to feel that we're confident and loving.

That would be very pretty without that red paint that looks like a vandalism.

That is beautiful, but would have been much better without the red paint. It ruins the message.

on each corner of the living room. It deserves a solo spot

If the red paint was not covering the eyes, it would be a stunning art.
