Burden & Beauty

They walk with baskets balanced high, their backs straight, their steps sure against a sky washed in peach and gold. One carries a patterned box, the other a deep blue vessel—each load a story, each stride a song. The artist paints them not as burdened, but as grounded—in rhythm, in purpose, in the quiet pride of their task. Bold strokes of violet, teal, and rust swirl around them, turning labour into lyric. This is no mere scene—it’s a hymn to resilience, to the grace found in carrying what must be carried. A piece for those who honour the unsung, the steady, the strong.
