Anupama Gamanagari said she had photographed her mother who had moved to the UK over 20 years ago.
The 77-year-old, a mother and grandmother, “carries the weight of migration with grace,” she said.
The portrait, taken on a walk in the Staffordshire countryside, “sits at the intersection of memory, resilience and home,” she added.
“She’s not a visitor in this landscape, she belongs here.”
