Mother and Child
Noria Mabasa
2012
20 Stellenbosch
The artwork "Mother and Child" by Noria Mabasa is about illustrating the gender roles within her community, portraying a tender moment of a mother holding and breastfeeding her baby. The sculpture captures a special kind of love and affection a mother has for her child, with lifelike textures and attentive details in skin tones and jewelry. Mabasa represents this familiar Western image with a focus on the everyday reality and deep emotional bond, rather than religious or sacred connotations, highlighting the maternal role in a culturally specific context.
