A photograph, shown rotated sideways, of a worker seated on bare reddish soil beside a stone wall, shaping grey granite stone with a hand tool. The worker wears a light blue head wrap, an orange short-sleeved shirt and a white dhoti. Loose cut stones lie on the ground around him, and a pile of granite rubble sits against the wall. Behind him, a row of tall metal poles stands beside a tiered garden of potted plants and green shrubs, with a multi-storey building and trees in the background.
