Brooklyn's Prospect Park unveiled a new bronze sculpture by artist Molly Gochman that celebrates motherhood and caregiving. Titled as part of her "Monuments to Motherhood" series, the 15-foot tall sculpture symbolizes a loosely tied knot and stands near Grand Army Plaza. Gochman’s work aims to counter memorials that glorify war, inviting reflections on caregiving in a broad sense. Drawing from her Jewish identity and personal experiences, the artist seeks to monumentalize acts of care that extend beyond individual caregivers and encompass a wider societal perspective.
Molly Gochman’s new sculpture in Prospect Park, celebrating motherhood and caregiving, aims to subvert violent memorials and invite a broader conception of care.
Gochman emphasizes the need to monumentalize care, stating, 'I wasn't thinking of one caregiver, specifically, I was thinking of this act of care.'
