The image displays a physical exhibition panel featuring a photograph and accompanying text. The photograph captures two women in an indoor setting, possibly a mall or public building, with blurred glass partitions in the background. One woman, identified as Yuniatri in the text, has short dark hair and is wearing a striped top and an earbud. She smiles faintly while holding an open makeup palette. She is applying makeup to the eyes of the second woman, Sangadah, who wears a black top and a cat-ear headband. Sangadah's expression is focused as the makeup brush touches her eyelid. The text panel, titled "Behind and Before the Lens" with the subtitle "Yuniatri and Sangadah," explains the context. Yuniatri, an Indonesian domestic worker, developed a passion for photography and often practices on friends like Sangadah. Yuniatri aims to capture the "true emotions" of her subjects, while Sangadah, also an Indonesian domestic worker, expresses emotions through makeup. Sangadah graduated from a two-year bridal makeup course in 2022, acquiring skills in various styles including Korean, Indian, and traditional Solo Basahan Javanese. Her goal is to use these skills to launch her own makeup business in Indonesia to support her family. Two quotes are featured: "When you take portraits, you can see how the person really feels. Expression says more than words." from Yuniatri, and "I don't want to be a helper for too long because my parents are getting old. I want to upgrade my skills and open a salon in Indonesia to support my family." from Sangadah. The overall display highlights the creative pursuits and aspirations of domestic workers, set in Singapore.
