Mother

It's great.
The female figure seems to emerge from the void, shattering the space around her.
The cracks in the middle also contribute to draw the attention of the viewer to the woman.
Being a "writer" and not a painter I cannot talking about style and technique like if I were a professionist...I can only express the personal opinion that I really like them both.
In particular, I appreciated the way you drew the face and the hands: simple but very effective.
I also find a good choice using only black, white and different shades of dark red. Again: a good piece of art, it goes directly into my favourites
