Saving Face!

This artwork featured in Shakti (2013). 

Tallur L.N.’s Saving Face! stands as a mysterious presence, her proud stance defies interpretation and the ornate shield-like mirror she holds in front of her face obscures her, reflecting only her own gaze. Her mirror establishes a dialogue with the one holding centre-stage in the great Nebuchadnezzar painting hanging above.
