The value of where we come from, the culture that is our reference to life, the thnicity which we feel belonging for are integral to the way we see and lead our lives. The composition depicts that our women in this nation are so independant and string that they do not need validation or strength from outside in order to be acheivers or ambitious or move ahead in life to do what they want. We women draw our strength from within as the stringest path. Our grit has so much power that we tap into who we are, where we come from and what we are here to do. That very ferocious, determined and focussed sense of purpose and strength is what leopardesses have too and that is why as a metaphoric symbolism we see the eye next to the woman’s face in this semi-abstract painting. 

The patterns around are all handloom patterns from various parts of Bharath and have their own derivations. The woman wears bone tribal jewellery and holds a lime slice on her ear to block the sour comments and negativity out. She is numb to anything derogatory, discriminatory and condescending in gender and role of women in commentary and behaviour. She only dwells on positivity, empowerment, strength and support. That is the entirity in symbolism and visual language of this creation.
