Lilies for femininity, swans for enduring love: this illustration combines flowers for the mother figures of today, and a prehistoric ancestor of the birds that, in Finnish folklore, are messengers between the living and the dead, reminding us that the matriarchs who came before us are with us still, in the love and life we give today.

(Äiti is the Finnish word for Grandmother. My Finnish grandmother was the inspiration behind this illustration.)
