Carrying as physical work
A woman carries a filled vessel on her head before a wall bearing lettering. Her green clothing and the horizontal lines of writing establish different rhythms. The balance between body and load becomes the formal centre of an everyday work scene.
The title describes the contents as collected cow dung used for fuel, a practice documented in Indian household statistics. The photograph connects this material aspect of daily life with a precise arrangement of load, body and wall.
