During my second pregnancy, an image of joyfully playing bear puppy on a water became important to me. After a couple of years I made an intaglio plate and a print series of it. When looking this image I understood the light-hearted nature of the puppy as a result of the mother bears presence somewhere near, outside this image. Parenthood is partly an ability to use aggression in a right way for protecting life.
