Fragile Cradle

A mother spoons food into her child’s open mouth, coaxing him to eat. The tender scene, rendered in ink on card stock in this original work by Dio from Ghana, is overlaid with a busy and confusing array of equations, graphs and calculations. “It explains how a mother finds a way to a child’s heart,”, says the artist, who makes it clear that a mother’s love cannot be measured by any means.
