In this artwork, I wanted to capture the image of a Bengali working mother, using traditional Bengali folk-art style. In rural villages, mothers who are farm laborers often create makeshift carrying bags for their children out of cloth, tying them to their bodies while they go to work. There’s usually no one else to look after the child, or perhaps the mother simply doesn’t want to be separated from her child, so she brings them along while she works to earn a living. I wanted to represent this scene through embroidery, focusing on the deep, almost magical bond between mother and child. The idea was to express that connection through the simple, yet powerful,interweaving of threads.
