This series explores the emotional complexity of growing up as the child of a mother with borderline personality disorder and a few other issues. Through these works, I delve into themes of emotional instability, insecurity, and the chaos that permeates relationships shaped by unpredictable moods. The pieces reflect the deep impact of constant shifts between love and rejection, idealization and devaluation, which form a distorted sense of self.

 

The cup of tea is the symbol I use to represent a mother’s care. The resemblance in how they provide comfort, security, and nourishment for the soul. A mother’s care envelops you in a sense of safety and reassurance. Both offer solace in times of stress or sadness, easing anxieties and bringing a moment of peace.

 

The works also address the struggle with boundaries, the overwhelming sense of responsibility, and the lingering guilt that children often carry. By visualizing these feelings, I hope to give voice to the silent emotional burden of trying to navigate a world where love is fragile and security elusive. This series aims to express the inner turmoil and resilience born from that experience, inviting viewers to confront the lasting psychological scars while also exploring the path toward healing and self-discovery.
