MOTHER
an exploration
Art + Being presents
an exploration
When Yang has forgotten its Yin, and Shiva stands severed from Shakti, the world burns, and power no longer knows how to hold life.
— Zora Gabrovsek
“And in the man too there is motherhood… his engendering is also a kind of birthing.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke
Letters to a Young Poet
What if Mother is not a person?
Not a role.
Not an image.
Not an identity we assign.
What if Mother is a capacity?
The capacity to:
• contain tension without collapse
• allow emergence without force
• trust what is forming
• sustain without control
When this capacity is present, life feels held.
When it is absent, life accelerates — becomes extractive, anxious, even violent.
Mother, in this sense, is not about gender.
It is a generative condition.
A field in which life can take shape.
This exhibition does not attempt to define Mother.
It asks what happens when this capacity is forgotten —
and what becomes possible when it returns.
