Artwork
It is life replicating itself. The woman, summoned by the grace of hinted forms, transcends and becomes another version of herself. In the artwork, there is no turmoil. The artist does not want to see it and dematerializes the event. It is the new subject that "unrolls" the mother to free its own wings. But it is not an angel. It is a child.
