How does this artwork represent healthy human aging? (Artwork Description)

The mother and child bond is very sacred and crucial for a healthy psychological development of the child. The impact of this nurturing bond is essential for a healthy psychological development as we age, and its effects are seen throughout our lifetime. Of particular interest to this artist, is how the attachment style of the mother to her child can influence us and our attachment styles in our various relationships, not just with others, but also with ourselves. As a practitioner of mindfulness meditation, attachments are very closely observed in both internal and external worlds. While other environmental factors are also at play and also influence these interactions, needless to say, however, one key contributor of our attachment style is passed down through our mothers.
