A scrolling LED display pulses with Jenny Holzer's provocative aphorisms, rendered in shifting, colour-changing light that cycles through the spectrum. The work belongs to Holzer's celebrated *Truisms* series, in which deceptively simple declarative statements are presented as self-evident truths, inviting the viewer to question the ideological forces that shape belief and social convention. The electronic medium — cold, commercial, and associative of public signage — is deliberately at odds with the intimate subject of mother and child, creating a tension between the personal and the political.
