MY MOTHER’S BLANKET — 2026
An incomplete LOVE.
Handmade paper and ink
Shahida Ahmed 2026 (c)
Built from handmade paper tubes printed with love poetry, each piece holds a stage of the comfort, memories and emotions we carry from our mothers throughout our lives.
A mother’s love begins before we enter the world — in her womb — and stays with us through every stage of life, until our last day.
The word remains incomplete because that love is never truly finished. It continues, surrounds us and becomes part of who we are. Like a blanket we carry for a lifetime.
