This fine art is an edition 1 of 6. 3 AP Project Description My mother, a Nigerian is the strongest yet most fragile woman I have ever seen. She is a mother to me and my siblings and also plays the same role to her husband, my father. Marriage to my mother is a school that no one graduates from. One moment she is happy, another moment she is sad. My mother's happy moments are many, sad moments are many too. I have seen her happy like the day she gave birth to a male child, my only brother, and sad when my father refused to eat her food for coming home late from work, which happened most of the time and when my father sent her packing to her father's house for questioning his authority. She was raised by her parents to be a good house wife, so the kids can be well raised and her husband can be properly attended to. Mother cares for everyone including my father. Our culture and society demands that she continues to give herself even when there’s nothing else to give. She must find a way to make things work, and she never gives up. Society expect it of her. The union between my father and mother is centered around my father. As a girl, I am continually reminded by everyone that I must learn all household chores to prepare me to meet the needs of my husband to be. The woman is prepared all her life to be everything a man wants, she is taught how to cook, clean, bring up kids, how to take care of her husband, how to please him in some ways which my mum told me I was too young to know
