The third painting of a triptych narrating the birth of a child. The fish represent everything that prevents the mother from seeing the truth, allowing her to project on the baby ( the butterfly) her desires, her vision of the future, and her expectations. The octopus, embraces her as well, protecting her from the reality that may hurt her.
