The painting is essentially that of three women, one of whom is Mother Teresa. She is flanked by a niqabi woman to her right and a woman with an orange veil on her head to the left. All three of them have their eyes closed. Titled ‘Motherhood‘, the artwork is from his first-ever solo show, which is an “artistic ode to Mother Teresa”.

Google Arts and Culture describes the painting as “inspired by her selflessness, the artist uses Mother Teresa in his work as a recurring theme. His works are large, stylistically arresting and often leave the viewer thinking”.
