Animals are twice as likely to be immortalized in bronze as women in England's capital city. A striking new statue challenges this invisibility by celebrating the postpartum body and the unseen labor of motherhood.
"Motherhood is at once everyday and extraordinary," said artist Rayvenn Shaleigha D'Clark. "By honoring the postpartum body, we're recognizing the courage of women everywhere."
The statue has sparked an international conversation about the importance of representing women's experiences in public art and recognizing the vital, often invisible work of mothers.
