I specially painted this acrylic-on-canvas painting of Amah washing laundry for our migrant workers to symbolise my very first charitable canvas painting. It was sold with 100% of its proceeds donated to the “One Bag, One Book” cause (hosted by Sing-Lit charity), to buy books and Lungyis (South Asian men’s sarongs) for our quarantined migrant worker communities during the pandemic. It was sold within two hours of the offer on social media! My friend, Zakir, a Bangladeshi migrant poet penned a poem to accompany the painting.
