Artist hits back at claims that motherhood holds women back by sharing photo of herself breastfeeding & working simultaneously

Yugoslavian artist Marina Abramovic stirred controversy when she admitted to having had three abortions because having kids will be a 'disaster' for work. In an interview with a German newspaper, Marina said:  'I had three abortions because I was certain that it would be a disaster for my work. One only has limited energy in the body, and I would have had to divide it.'


Those claims have however been repudiated by Hein Koh, an artist from Brooklyn, New York who shared a photo taken by her husband, Jim Horowitz of herself breastfeeding her twins, Ami and Oni while working at the same time alongside a powerful Message

Since sharing the photograph a few weeks ago Hein has received 6,000 likes as well as plenty of praise from her followers and other mothers.

    Nice response from her. Life is way too simple but some people tend to complicate it for others, setting stupid societal standards.

    wao, she try ooo in circumstances where you see some artists, celebrity and women avoiding breastfeeding their kids for fearing their breast falling and affecting their careers; they want to look young and presentable at all times.

    What she is doing is wrong because those babies can get suffocated by her breast if their nose gets covered up while she is busy on her computer.
