abstract painting by Lauren Gohara on global decline in maternal mortality
Taking Care of Mama: Declining Maternal Mortality
OIl and alkyd on canvas
18 x 18 inches

The bright yellow triangle celebrates the 45% decline in maternal mortality worldwide since 1990. Yet, the dark grey bottom half of the painting shows how far there is to go, representing the more than 250,000 women dying during pregnancy or childbirth annually, mostly in the developing world.
