The photographs balance portraiture with contextual shots of workshops, tools, and finished products, weaving a rich narrative about resilience, identity, and heritage. Challenges included gaining the community’s trust and respecting cultural sensitivities, which required time, patience, and openness. The resulting collection offers viewers a window into a world that might otherwise remain unseen, inviting empathy and understanding. This project exemplifies how photography can preserve cultural memory and advocate for the recognition and support of traditional crafts in a rapidly modernizing world.
