This tapestry, titled HUMRAAZ, captures the language of silent intimacy and feminine mystique where two women share a common soul and words are rendered redundant. The absence of facial features adds to the enigma of the artwork. The demeanor and body language of the couple reflect a fluid grace and a quiet dignity. The contrasting colors, the textures, and the tonal variations all add to the aesthetics of this hand-embroidered tapestry, which is a rare and classic collector’s item. It took Puja close to five months to create this artwork.
