“In a child's eyes, a mother is a goddess. She can be glorious or terrible, benevolent or filled with wrath, but she commands love either way. I am convinced that this is the greatest power in the universe.”
N.K. Jemisin
Mother
A mother is a female or woman who has given birth, that is to say, who has had direct offspring.
Currently, this concept of motherhood transcends the limits of biology, and this title can also be given to a woman who fulfills this role without necessarily being biologically related to the child, but includes factors such as love, care and attention, as is the case of an adoptive mother.
In the surroundings of the Jacinto Lara International Airport in the city of Barquisimeto, there is, or used to be, this work known as the Plaza Monument to the Mothers, which has an image made of marble, measuring about 2 meters high and presenting the figure of a woman seated and surrounded by three children.
The female figure, located in the central part of the sculpture, has her head slightly inclined downwards and her face facing the front. The piece is placed on a marble base that in turn is supported by a red marble pedestal in the form of a truncated pyramid.
As I have described in previous posts, I process the original photographs using the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed.
Una madre es aquella hembra o mujer que ha parido, es decir, que ha tenido descendencia directa.
Actualmente este concepto de maternidad trasciende los límites de la biología, también pudiéndosele dar este título a la mujer que cumpla este papel sin necesariamente estar emparentada biológicamente con el menor, sino que incluye factores como el amor, el cuidado y la atención, como es el caso de una madre adoptiva.
En los alrededores del Aeropuerto Internacional Jacinto Lara de la ciudad de Barquisimeto, se encuentra, o se encontraba anteriormente, esta obra conocida como la Plaza Monumento a las Madres, la cual posee una imagen elaborada en mármol, que mide alrededor de 2 metros de altura y que presenta la figura de una mujer sentada y rodeada por tres niños.
La figura femenina ubicada en la parte central de la escultura, tiene la cabeza ligeramente inclinada hacia abajo y el rostro de frente. La pieza está colocada sobre una base de mármol que a su vez es sopotada por un pedestal de mármol rojo en forma de pirámide truncada.
Como he descrito en posts anteriores, las fotografías originales las proceso haciendo uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed.
