About this work

You see a woman with suitcases returning to a family home. She looks like she's been away for a while. This drawing is interesting because it's based on a biblical story, but the artist made it personal by changing the main character to a woman. The artist used this story to express their own feelings about being a woman and mother. It's like they're showing the struggle to balance different roles. The drawing is simple, but it tells a lot about the artist's thoughts. Check out the technique used in this drawing, like cross-hatching.
