In Fête des Mères, Philomé Obin portrays a moment of familial connection, celebrating the ties that define identity and community. The vibrant colors and intimate setting emphasize the home as a space of care and belonging, where traditions and generations shape one’s sense of place.

 

The figures of mother, child, and grandmother reflect the continuity of family bonds and the emotional strength that comes from shared history and love.
