"Contentment, Curiosity, Awe" is rural scene of Pakistan depicting village girls carrying baskets of food & fruit. It is about the emotions of friendship, love, jealousy, and curiosity experienced growing up between friends. This painting portrays three different emotions. The girl in front carries an expression of contentment, the second figure is showing curiosity or perhaps jealousy that can be seen in her eyes and the third girl seems to be awe struck in the situation.
