Life's Tapestry of Hues

As people grow older, they become helpless and dependent on others. Here, this old woman is trying to walk freely with her age, leaning on her cane and trying to walk like a young man. Her life's struggle and hardship are reflected in her movements. The movement of her yellow saree matches the letters of the telegraph. The blue shoes and blouse match the wall, which reflects her life's struggle.
