Title roughly translates as "My Mammy / My Mammy" reflecting the tug-of-war taking place between his children for their mother's attention. Meanwhile another child in the background has his arm in a sling. One of his most famous works, this Iconic, beautifully composed image is from the series made on his beloved sand dunes at Tottori, incorporating surrealist elements and featuring his family members.
