💙The image shows a monument known as “Woman with a Burden” or “The Burden” (La Carga), created by sculptor Jaume Plensa.
The monument depicts a woman carrying an enormous burden on her back, consisting of various household items such as a washing machine, buckets, brooms, wash basins, and other household items.
At the woman’s feet stand three children, who appear to be helping her or seeking protection. The figures are executed in Botero’s characteristic style, characterized by rounded, voluminous forms. The monument draws attention to gender inequality and the invisible labor women perform, and calls for a rethinking of the division of responsibilities in the family and society.
It visually depicts the physical and emotional burden of housework, childrearing, and other social expectations that often rest on women’s shoulders.
How unique and multifaceted is a work that almost goes unnoticed. (info from Google)
