Macchiwali (Fish Seller) is inspired by the women who sell fresh fish in bustling coastal markets, their voices, baskets, and presence forming the rhythm of everyday life.
Known for their bold personalities and tireless work, these women support families and communities through long days by the sea. The painting celebrates their resilience and spirit. Within The Stories Told About Us, the fish seller becomes another unsung heroine — a reminder that power, humour, and independence often live in ordinary labour.
