"The
Heir’s Wife interrogate the weight of expectation within family structures, where love and obligation are
often indistinguishable. [The painting] presents a face etched into a coin, that evokes the permanence of
lineage, its spectral portrait emerging from the worn imprint of a coin—a symbol of both material wealth,
greed and the weight of legacy."
