Metime for Modern Woman

Gouache on Canvas

[Theme : Motherhood]
Before every women became a mother, she is an individual who has own personality, and life. Me time is precious and necessary itself. It is the basis of self-esteem to make our lives better without being buried in motherhood.

We has experienced how modernized women treated like ‘Mean girls, since 1930 in Korean history. But in fact, those women fought to study, work and find their life. I’d like to express contemporary women still fighting to recover their lives and painted a scene that they take time and free from social gaze.
