About this work
This reinterpretation of Goldilocks and the Three Bears explores the paradox of motherhood: the shift between feeling perfectly "just right" and feeling disorienting, isolated, and unknown. Grounded in the dualities of the Mother archetype, it holds space for both the joy of creation and the loss of a former self.
