A Mother’s Love
 
This illustration centers on a quiet moment of protection, where a mother bends close to her child, her body forming a shield as much as an embrace. The composition draws the viewer inward, emphasizing touch, proximity, and the unspoken language between parent and child. The mother’s posture is gentle but deliberate, suggesting that care is both tender and vigilant.
 
Within Life in Black Ink, motherhood is portrayed as an act of constant presence. Love is not abstract here. It is physical, grounding, and lived through everyday gestures. The surrounding space fades, allowing the relationship itself to become the subject. The child rests within that closeness, safe not because the world is harmless, but because someone stands between them and it.
 
A Mother’s Love honors Black motherhood as a foundation of survival and continuity. It acknowledges the quiet strength required to nurture, protect, and guide while carrying the weight of history and responsibility. The drawing preserves a moment that is deeply personal yet universal, reminding us that love is often the first and most enduring form of resistance.
