About the Artwork:
This piece represents that mix of strength and softness we carry, especially as women, and even more so as mothers. The weight of care, protection, and love, all while trying to keep a sense of who we are. There’s something about the idea of a queen bee: always working, always watching over others , and that felt so familiar. But there’s also tenderness, a bit of uncertainty. This painting holds a lot of those quiet, complex feelings I don’t always have words for. – Olga Furman
