Idea Diffusion delves into the intergenerational transmission of knowledge, life, and creativity. The image depicts three women—mother, daughter, and grandmother—standing side by side, representing the continuum of life and wisdom that is passed from one generation to the next. One of the figures holds a delicate bubble, within which floats an embryo, symbolizing the creation and nurturing of new life. The bubble represents both fragility and potential, carrying the weight of inherited ideas, culture, and experiences that shape future generations.
This visual metaphor suggests that just as life is passed down through biological lines, so too are concepts, beliefs, and traditions diffused across time and family. The act of holding the bubble with the embryo also invokes themes of protection, responsibility, and the potential for new beginnings. In this piece, the process of diffusion isn’t just biological—it’s also intellectual and emotional, with each woman contributing to the formation of the next generation, not only in the physical sense but in the shaping of identity, values, and knowledge.
The image reflects the dynamic interplay between past, present, and future, highlighting the cyclical nature of human experience and the interconnectedness of family and identity.
