Tired Mom Sculpture by Alli Plourde
This ceramic bust captures a mom doing what moms do best — looking forward with determination, even while buried in a mountain of laundry and baby bottles that probably haven’t been washed. She’s holding it together (barely), with that familiar glazed-over look that says, “Is it bedtime yet?”
One of the originals in the Tired Mom series, this piece celebrates the heroic, hilarious chaos of motherhood — the kind where “putting on a fresh shirt” means flipping it inside out. She’s not aiming for Pinterest-perfect. She’s aiming for clean-ish.
Equal parts brave and burned out, this sculpture is a tribute to the moms who are somehow still standing, still loving, and still folding tiny socks at midnight. She’s exhausted. She’s resilient. She might be running on Goldfish crackers and caffeine. But she’s doing it.
And that, my friends, is art.
