In this domestic tableau, Manoj Dutta captures the introspection of rural womanhood. The mirror reflects the layered self of seen and imagined. The hanging lamp and framed window evoke modest interiors from his own surroundings, grounded yet alive with thought. The red potted plant symbolizes quiet growth; the scattered bindi, comb, and jewellery trace morning rituals steeped in care. Every detail — patterned border, stitched blouse, green wall — becomes a loving preservation of everyday life, transformed into a contemplative, symbolic space through Dutta’s tender visual language.
