Mother...

This boy is playing in the yard of a restaurant. He seems totally absorbed by his playing and seems quite alone.

However, if you notice the shadow, it's his mom. So the shadow represents his mom, always looming, protective...

I've noticed this about moms. In the park, this past weekend, there were loads of moms with their infants. They are running and being the children they are and moms (err... being the moms they are, I guess) are right there.

I think this is stark contrast to what fathers do, which is to let them run around and allow them to bleed and get hurt severely and get stiches and broken bones. All the things that will turn them into real men!
