This surrealistic painting reveals psychological tension and emotional drama between mother and daughter, it was inspired by the story of“Apollo and Daphne” in Greek mythology. A daughter’s love and attachment to her mother is so intense and powerful, that the mother could be overwhelmed by the responsibility, a mother’s darkest desire to escape is depicted through the state of metamorphosis. Furthermore, the daughter is playing with a doll, and the playing serves as identification with her mother, she is playing the role of her mother and the doll is herself, this refers to Freudian theory in “ Oedipus Anxiety”.
