My friend Ebba Malmqvists work on her PhD thesis "Exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and health risks for mother and child" inspired me to make this picture as a book cover. I thought about the pregnant mother as Mother Earth. The small particles of polluted air are absorbed into the system of her body and affect a child not even born. Even though a mother tries to provide the best of all the richness to her child she is affected by the air. The painting is made in watercolor and I work as a visual artist.
