The image showcases the indomitable spirit and determination of this worker as he skillfully fastens straw onto broom handles. Despite his disability, he stands tall, showcasing equal opportunities for all. The composition evokes a sense of admiration for this laborer who is engaged in an everyday task within an interior workshop setting. His hands expertly maneuvering the tools demonstrate his proficiency despite his visual impairment. The brooms lined up against the wall serve as a testament to his hard work and dedication.
