Original artwork description:

My grandmother used to tell us a story about a woman who couldn't have a baby. She cried and cried and kept her tears in a bottle. At some point of the story she drank the tears and got pregnant. That's how the story begins and what remember of it, as it was the most intriging part of it. The woman is depicted on a bed next to a thick wall with a window, like the place where my grandmother used to sit while telling that story.
