In this artwork, my partner is 8 months pregnant with our first child. I can say that it has been a blessing in disguise for my partner and I. Both of us have been working from home and have been able to enjoy being present for the growth of our unborn baby. The image depicts my partner holding a bundle of burning sage in one hand and two feathers in another. The feathers in hand represent my two daughters, whom my partner has helped raise like her own children. The sage and smoke represent our ancestors, hovering around her offering protection. The green plants behind her are a representation of myself, being a constant gardener growing food and plants for our home. I can say I have been blessed during this time to be able to experience this pregnancy to its fullest.
