The first of the Moirae sisters, spinning the thread of life.
But in my interpretation, this is an image of childhood and birth. A child whose "fate" is formed and shaped by many factors: genetics, character, family, society, etc.
This painting is connected with the painting Atropos (old age), where the thread goes further, and is not interrupted - this thread is an image of the soul. In Clotho's painting, the ball did not just appear by itself, but the very thread - the soul and wisdom - flows into it.
I did not choose the combination of pink and yellow by chance, this is the color of joy, carelessness, happiness - like the world in the voices of a child.
And the pose is close to the pose of the embryo, which once again emphasizes the idea of the birth of a person.
