Mama Earth, The large scale of these paintings serves as a physical reminder to herself and her audience of the huge importance of females in this society. The colour blue at the MAMA painting symbolises water, whereas the colour Red at the EARTH painting symbolises soil; two of the most essential elements when we talk about the environment. The flower pattern is a representation of the tenderness of the female character. The square area around the flower shows that women’s position and importance in this society need to be honoured.
