经过 Jillian Kurovski, adopted from Sth Korea to the USA.

I was talking to my birth mother today for Lunar New Year. She always wants me to know how much she loves me and that she is sorry. I always tell her there is no need to be sorry.

Our conversations remind me that my mother and I share much pain and trauma over the same separation. Knowing that she shares this grief too and that is is likely she feels alone in her sorry is a unique feeling that I find hard to describe. I think we both wish we could cry in each other’s arms to lighten the other’s load. Our separation bears down on both of us.

This painting was my way of expressing that feeling and experience with her. It was a good outlet for processing and channeling my emotions.
