This work portrays the Mother Goddess of Amlash holding her child, emphasizing the sacred bond between mother and child. The Amlash character is inspired by ancient goddesses and sacred archetypes, reimagined through a contemporary visual language. A floating balloon symbolizes hope, wishes, and brighter days within a dreamlike, parallel world. Ancient-inspired signs and symbolic markings associated with luck and blessing bridge past belief systems with contemporary perception, presenting a poetic life of the Amlash figures that quietly resonates with the modern human experience.
