Deskripsi:
"The Weary Return" menggambarkan perjuangan emosional dan fisik ibu bekerja dalam menyeimbangkan peran sebagai pencari nafkah dan pengasuh. Fokus utamanya adalah kelelahan setelah seharian bekerja, dengan sorotan pada sosok ibu yang memompa ASI di perjalanan pulang sebagai simbol cinta dan dedikasi. Anak-anak digambarkan dalam bentuk miniatur yang dibawa para ibu, merepresentasikan kehadiran mereka yang selalu ada dalam pikiran sang ibu, di mana pun berada. Selain kelelahan fisik, karya ini juga menyoroti kondisi psikologis ibu yang pulang dengan suasana hati "amburadul", karena tanggung jawab pengasuhan masih menanti. Lukisan ini mengajak penonton merenungkan beratnya beban ganda yang dipikul ibu bekerja, serta pentingnya dukungan bagi mereka di era modern.

Description:
"The Weary Return" portrays the emotional and physical struggles of working mothers in balancing their roles as both breadwinners and caregivers. The central focus is on the exhaustion after a long day of work, highlighted by the image of a mother pumping breast milk on her way home, a symbol of love and unwavering dedication. Children are depicted as miniature figures carried by the mothers, representing their constant presence in a mother’s thoughts, no matter where she is. Beyond physical fatigue, the artwork also emphasizes the psychological state of the mother returning home with a “scattered” emotional state, knowing that parenting duties still await. This painting invites viewers to reflect on the heavy double burden borne by working mothers, and the crucial need for support in the modern era.
