ALT Ambika Chhetri (40), wearing a black quilted windcheater over a red T-shirt and off-white trousers, stands outside a row of shops. She wears specs with large brown frames, has straight black shoulder-length hair with a middle parting, and has slung a black handbag over her left shoulder. There is a flight of ascending cement steps behind her covered with grey slate tiles. There are several shoppers walking up and down the steps. Each landing of the steps leads to a shop entrance. The signboard of the shop next to her says ‘Lal Market’ and it displays colourful bags, sling purses, shoes, slippers and other accessories.

ALT Mid shot of Ambika, wearing a red full-sleeved sweater, standing in a kitchen which is lit only by a small candle placed on the wooden sill of a closed window. The glow from the candle falls on her face. She stands in front of a twin-burner gas stove. A large vessel is placed on the left burner. Placed on the blue flame of the right burner is a saucepan. Ambika is holding the handle of the saucepan with her right hand. Several vessels are placed on the ledge of a shelf high up on the wall behind her.

ALT Ambika is stretched out on a bed, her head and torso propped up by several pillows. She wears a coffee-coloured full-sleeved sweater paired with mushroom-pink, loose woollen trousers. She holds a grey coffee mug in her right hand and is looking down into a mobile phone held in her left hand. Lined up along the length of her body are several upright, square-shaped cushions of different colours. The cushion covers are a furry material in light blue, orange, red, pink, and purple.
