Mother of Fraternity 2010

Twins Seven Seven created this piece, "Mother of Fraternity," where the dominant image is that of a maternal figure, adorned with symbols that speak to profound cultural narratives. Note the all-seeing eye, reminiscent of ancient Egyptian and Greek motifs, watching over humanity. This recurring symbol, charged with meanings of protection, omniscience, and divine authority, transcends cultures. Consider how this motif resurfaces centuries later in early Renaissance art. Here, the eye appears not as a singular, detached entity, but integrated into the very being of the Mother. The maternal figure carries both a child and what appears to be a vessel of water. She represents the life-giving, nurturing essence of motherhood and the life-sustaining qualities of water, both critical for growth and communal harmony. These archetypes engage our collective memory, evoking primal emotions of security and belonging. We see the cyclical nature of life, where ancient symbols are reinterpreted and imbued with contemporary relevance, constantly shaping our understanding of self and society.
