This composition centres on a group of women pounding rice after the harvest. Rudy's deployment of large crowds dressed in traditional outfits reflect the movement of society at work. Through the composition of communal life, the artist conveys how tradition and culture is still retained and treasured in modern times. The process shows the separation of the rice grains from the husks, using pestle and mortar.
