In this print by Mary Pudlat, the curved igloo wall forms a pale frame that contains the scene and keeps the focus on the figures. The soon-to-be mother sits centred, her blue parka the largest shape, while three women gather tightly around her, their bodies overlapping in a compact cluster. A fourth figure reaches in from below, extending the circle and directing the eye back to the centre. Soft blues and greens reduce contrast and smooth transitions, matching the closeness and support shown through touch and proximity.
