This mixed-media artwork portrays two women from a historical period carrying large buildings on their heads, set against an aged document with ornate script. The composition centres on the women, slightly staggered and walking to the right, their figures isolated against the textured background. The surreal imagery of towering buildings balanced on their heads creates a striking contrast with their realistic forms.

The women are depicted in traditional attire, with colourful garments, veils, and jewellery that highlight their cultural identity. Their postures convey effort and strength, grounding the scene in realism. In contrast, the buildings are simplified and stylized, adding a symbolic, almost dreamlike quality.

The backdrop resembles an ancient manuscript, with patterns and intricate script suggesting history and heritage. Warm browns and muted tones dominate, blending with the paper texture, while the darker hues of the buildings stand out.

Executed as a collage combining painting, drawing, and digital techniques, the work blends realism with stylization. Warm, directional lighting evokes a desert-like environment, casting shadows that enhance depth. The overall mood is surreal yet historically evocative, symbolizing the weight of culture and tradition carried forward through human endurance.
