Phulwali (Flower Seller) draws inspiration from the women who sell flowers on street carts, weaving garlands of marigolds and jasmine for temples, homes, and celebrations. Often overlooked, these women carry colour, fragrance, and devotion into everyday life while working to support their families. The piece celebrates their quiet resilience and dignity. Within The Stories Told About Us, the flower seller becomes an unsung heroine — a reminder that strength and beauty often live in the most ordinary, hardworking moments.
