The work is an optimistic interpretation of the aftermath of war, depicting hope for peace and stability through the mother and child.
The Mother and Child has been a recurrent theme in Chandraguptha Thenuwara's four-decade-long practice. Borrowing its inspiration from Byzantine iconography of the precious bond shared between a mother and child, the partly autobiographical work reflects on the anguish caused by war on the innocent victims of war.
