Satyan captures a quiet moment between a mother and her child amid the chaos of the refugee camp. The woman in the foreground rests her hands on her knees while her face loosely hangs on her palm, her eyes looking at the ground lost in thought. The woman in the background possibly oiling or braiding her hair with great attention and care. Taken in 1971, during the liberation of Bangladesh, many people sought refuge in Tripura.
