Fahim,
There's no madonna and child painting I have seen that has more love. This is not a "something" someone imagined. That's the miracle and simple truth of it. This love is inherent in us and we just learn to lock it away. Here we see it as it is without any flourishes. It cannot be improved upon.
But I see a lot more. I also see a woman who has traversed great distances in society and climbed to the heights of Everest and returned without hubris. Her vision, then for her daughter must indeed by splendid.
My wish is that she is able to transfer her insights and advantages of a wider view of society to this precious child. I hope this relationship becomes increasingly strong as this infant grows to childhood, a teenager and then transforms to be an independent and powerful women. I believe with such guidance, she will able to give to society new visions we cannot even imagine.
I wish you joy in documenting this metamorphosis. You have your work cut out for you!
