Earth Mother

Yuliya Lanina

Yuliya Lanina’s Earth Mother sculpture symbolizes fertility and motherhood, motifs that appear often in mythology. The artist’s dedication to the earth is illustrated as a large, whimsical female head that emerges from the earth and engenders awareness and respect for the natural world. The piece reminds us that as Mother Earth cares for us, we also care for her. The piece is dedicated to all mothers.
