Moving on to "Mugged, " a vibrant color lithograph captures the resilience required when faced with unexpected adversity. Meanwhile, an evocative black and white photograph titled "Ruined Cities of Ceylon" reveals the termination at Maha Sens Palace - illustrating how sometimes our efforts are not enough to withstand external forces.
