Tired Mom Sculptures by Alli Plourde
This Tired Mom Sculpture was born from that familiar moment — standing at the sink, dishes piled high, wondering how there are still more spoons in the house. In Burdened Grace, a ceramic mother is quietly, almost heroically, holding it all together beneath a mountain of dirty dishes. It’s a playful nod to the everyday weight moms carry — not just the literal loads, but the emotional ones too.
There’s strength in her slump, humor in her stillness, and a quiet resilience that every tired parent knows too well. This isn’t about martyrdom — it’s about recognition. About saying, “Yep, it’s a lot,” and still somehow showing up, one crusty plate at a time.
