This is a short trailer for the video “Motherhood” by Maria Korporal.
The full video is 2:28 long and is shown on festivals and exhibitions.
Life begins from a single point, unfolding into lines and organic forms that grow, shift, and continuously transform into human or animal bodies as well as other organic shapes. From this evolving field, a female figure gradually emerges. As she takes shape, she receives a child in her arms and becomes an archetypal presence – rooted in images of motherhood, care, and protection.
Her form develops in dialogue with the surrounding movements, shaped by rhythms of change and connection. Motherhood appears here as a generative force: an experience that holds tenderness and strength, responsibility and agency, unfolding over time.
