In the blur of small hands, half-eaten meals and fleeting flights, the self slips quietly into the margins. These moments, tender, chaotic and unspectacular, trace the invisible labor of love. Here, motherhood is both anchor and undertow: it holds, it pulls, it erases and it redraws. Between what floats and what breaks, a portrait emerges, not of the mother seen, but of the one disappearing.
