The photograph shows a young woman whose face is completely painted in a golden hue. She stands next to a small golden skull, creating a striking visual contrast. Gold symbolizes wealth, extravagance and power, creating an atmosphere of luxury. However, the tiny skull symbolizes a significant sacrifice: giving up motherhood in search of a successful career and material wealth.

The gold paint on the woman’s face serves as a deceptive consolation, as if masking the emptiness caused by the voluntary abandonment of the child. This represents a superficial attempt to fill the void left by this willing sacrifice. The overall image conveys complex emotions and moral dilemmas revolving around the desire for wealth and power at the expense of personal satisfaction and meaningful connections.

The artist calls on all women to appreciate true happiness, which is motherhood and the birth of a child. Not a single gold in the world stands next to a child's tear.
