Early morning on a construction site. A woman sits at the rolling stone with dough in one hand, steam rises from the tava, and a basket of finished roti sits beside her.

I was walking on the road with my camera one morning in February 2025 and spotted this woman making rotis on a construction site. I didn’t ask her to do anything. I framed the shot and photographed her at her regular work, with the dough in her hand and the steam coming off the tava.
