The Alien Gaze of Newborns: Surreal Moments in Sleep-Deprived Parenthood| Ep. 005
In this episode of Art, Parenthood and Beyond, join me, Miwa Gardner, as I explore the fascinating—and sometimes surreal—experience of gazing into the eyes of a newborn. With a mix of humor and heartfelt stories, I share my journey through the sleep-deprived nights of early parenthood and the surprising moments that made me feel like I was living with a little alien. From breastfeeding struggles to those precious gazes that connect us on a deeper level, let’s celebrate the wonder of infancy together.
As I navigated those surreal early days, I found inspiration in my son’s captivating gaze. His wide-eyed wonder and mysterious expressions sparked a desire in me to capture that unique, almost otherworldly look on canvas. Join me as I reflect on how these moments not only deepened my bond with my son but also inspired my artistry in ways I never expected.
