The brief was a translation problem: how does Pune's chai-stall-plus-laptop afternoon — vendor pour, open rectangle screen, backpack bench dweller, phone-walking meeting — read inside Warli white-line grammar without breaking monochrome discipline or smuggling in a tarpa spiral that belongs on harvest nights? Forest-scatter symmetry was the layout fix. Classical Warli distributes village activities across ochre ground; here the stall is centre hero while digital commuters scatter at margins the way water carriers once did. What we refused: perspective depth, cafe logos, multicolor menu boards, and concentric dance rings. What we kept legible: kettle pour arc, laptop table square, smartphone rectangle, cyclist wheel circles, hut upper right for Sahyadri village continuity, bull and dog for street-life scale. Light density preserves geru-wall breath between figures.
