In Boca Al Lupo Painting

"In Boca Al Lupo" is a Roman myth about the start of the city. It is thought to believe that a set of twins, Romulus and Remus were infants roaming the land, and a she-wolf (Lupa in Italian) nursed them to health. With her offering they were thought to have the strength to discover and found the city of Rome. In modern context, the saying "In Boca Al Lupo" directly translates to "In the mouth of the she-wolf", but is commonly used in Italian to mean "Good luck." This painting "In Boca Al Lupo" draws back to the original myth of the city of Rome. It speaks to the unspoken, assumed strength of all women, to uphold societal function: providing nurturing care, love, strength, kindness, all without thanks or praise. The choice of the breast pump, speaks to the women who are moms and who also work. The opportunity for women to join the work force, has been important, but they are still too often faced with the responsibility to raise children alone. So instead of being allowed to join the workforce, they now have two jobs. The work of a mother is always assumed. Its is a thankless given. The particular framing of the scene with the breast pump offers a moment of praise and honor for the women who raise us.
