About
"Mama, Am I Still Young?" delves into the intricate journey of adulthood, longing to revisit the innocence of childhood and cling to the comforting embrace of maternal love. Through this introspective piece, Grinston intricately dissects her evolving relationship with her mother, tracing its transformative path through the years. The prominent scissor embellishment at the heart of the artwork serves as a poignant metaphor, symbolizing the bittersweet separation inherent in growing up—the physical severance of the umbilical cord mirrored by the emotional distance between mother and child during the tumultuous teen years, only to be bridged anew through the process of rediscovery and mutual understanding in adulthood. Dedicated to Alexandra Grinston, the cherished mother of Sophia Grinston, these two pieces encapsulate a profound tribute to the enduring bond between parent and child, immortalized in artistry and love.
