Litter 2009

Rose Freymuth-Frazier's 2009 painting "Litter" depicts a woman with a somber expression, seated on a dark background, wearing a breast pump while holding a cigarette. Surrounding her are six infants, connected to the breast pump via tubes, creating a jarring visual contrast between motherhood and detachment. The painting's hyperrealistic style draws attention to the woman's detached gaze and the infants' vacant stares, raising questions about the nature of contemporary motherhood.
